Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped hearts of romaine
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • ¼ fresh jalapeño , stemmed and seeded
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into eighths
  • 2 large stalks celery, trimmed
    Carrots Peeled Baby
    1 pkg For $2.34
    Thru 02/14
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Preparation

  • Active

  • Ready In

  1. Working in this order, process lettuce, chives, tomatoes, jalapeno, bell pepper, celery and carrot through a juicer according to the manufacturer’s directions. (No juicer? See Tip.)
  2. Fill 2 glasses with ice, if desired, and pour the juice into the glasses. Serve immediately.
  • No juicer? No problem. Try this DIY version of blended and strained juice instead: Coarsely chop all ingredients. First, place the soft and/or juice ingredients in the blender and process until liquefied. Then, add the remaining ingredients; blend until liquefied. Cut two 24-inch-long pieces of cheesecloth. Completely unfold each piece and then stack the pieces on top of each other. Fold the double stack in half so you have a 4-layer stack of cloth. Line a large bowl with the cheesecloth and pour the contents of the blender into the center. Gather the edges of the cloth together in one hand and use the other hand to twist and squeeze the bundle to extract all the juice from the pulp. Wear a pair of rubber gloves if you don’t want the juice to stain your hands.

If you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy now that warm weather has arrived, you will want to make these Raspberry Lemonade Slushies. These tasty slushies are made with fresh lemons and fresh raspberries. The adults and kids will love them. Lemonade slushies are my kiddos favorite drinks to enjoy during the summer. I was enjoying one of my favorite Tropical Slushies the other afternoon and my kiddos were fighting over my left overs. Since we had our nicest weather of the season yesterday, I decided to surprise them with an after school frozen treat. I had some raspberries from a markdown I found at Aldi and knew they would be perfect for Raspberry Lemonade Slushies

RASPBERRY LEMONADE SLUSHIE

Cold drinks and frozen treats are always a must in our house during the summer months. This year, I going to attempt to make them eat more healthy frozen treats. In the past, I would use Kool-Aid to make Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slurpees. They are really blue, tasty and super simple but these Fresh Fruit Slushies are so much better because they have natural ingredients.

These Raspberry Lemonade Slushies are super simple. After the kids finished up their cold treats they were anxious for seconds. I think one was plenty but I did explain to them how simple these slushies were and explained to them the process so they can make their own this summer.

These Slushies will be great for serving up at our pool parties this summer. Most of the kiddos like lemonade slushies (I realized that super quickly last summer after making a few batches) plus the addition of the raspberries makes these extra tasty.

The ingredients needed to whip up a small batch of these Raspberry Slushies is quite simple. You will need some lemons, raspberries and sugar.
