What You Need

• 1 cup frozen blue raspberries
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 cups ice
• 1/2 cup cold water

Let’s Make It

1. Add frozen blue raspberries, frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the blender.
2. Pour in the cold water.
3. Add the ice on top.
4. Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and frosty.
5. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more sugar or honey if needed.
6. Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately while thick and beautifully cold.

Fun Ways to Switch It Up

• Layer blue raspberry slushie and strawberry slushie separately in the glass for a stunning two-tone color effect
• Add a splash of sparkling water after blending for a fun and fizzy carnival style version
• Swap lemon for lime juice for a slightly more tropical and zingy citrus flavor
• Blend in half a frozen banana for an extra thick and creamy texture everyone will love
• Top with fresh strawberries, a few whole blue raspberries, and a colorful paper straw for a festive and playful presentation
• Freeze into popsicle molds for the most colorful and exciting frozen treats at any summer party
• Add a small pinch of blue spirulina powder to intensify that stunning blue purple color naturally

Pro Tips

• Always use fully frozen blue raspberries and frozen strawberries straight from the freezer for the thickest and most frosty slushie texture possible
• Fresh lemon juice and real lemon zest are absolutely essential here because they brighten all the berry flavors and keep everything tasting vibrant and punchy
• Add ice last in the blender so all the frozen fruit and liquids blend smoothly together before the ice joins for the silkiest possible finish
• Blend in short quick pulses first to break down all the frozen berries before switching to full high speed for the smoothest and creamiest result
• Keep your water amount on the lower side since frozen berries release plenty of natural juice during blending and too much water will thin your slushie out fast
• Serve immediately right after blending because this berry slushie melts quickly and that gorgeous thick frosty texture is absolutely the best part of every sip

FAQs

Where can I find frozen blue raspberries?

Frozen blue raspberries are available in most large grocery stores in the frozen fruit section, often labeled as blue raspberries or wild berries. You can also find them at specialty food stores, health food shops, or online retailers if your local store doesn’t carry them regularly.

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, but the slushie will be considerably thinner and much less frosty. Add 1–2 extra cups of ice and blend longer to get closer to the thick slushy consistency.

Can I make this slushie ahead of time for a party?

Best served fresh after blending at peak frostiness and vibrant color. For parties, blend large batches and keep them in the freezer in sealed containers, then re-blend each batch for 20–30 seconds before serving to restore the thick, slushy texture.

Is this slushie recipe completely natural with no artificial coloring?

Yes, the blue-purple-pink color comes entirely from natural pigments in blue raspberries and strawberries with no artificial food coloring needed. The color may vary slightly depending on the brand and ripeness of your frozen berries but will always be vibrantly gorgeous.

How do I make the two-tone layered version for parties?

Blend blue raspberries separately with half the ice and water, then blend strawberries separately with the remaining ice and water. Pour the strawberry slushie into the glass first, then slowly spoon the blue raspberry slushie on top for a breathtaking layered color effect that will wow every guest.
