How to Make Mango Strawberry Swirled Slushies

Making these slushies is super easy follow these steps for perfect results every time:

Step 1: Prep the Mango Layer

1. Add frozen mango chunks honey water lime juice and salt to blender
2. Blend until smooth but still thick u want slushie texture not smoothie
3. If too thick add tiny splashes of water until right consistency
4. Should be thick enough that straw stands up but still sippable
5. Pour into separate container and place in freezer while making strawberry layer

PRO TIP: don’t over-blend or it’ll melt too fast pulse instead of continuous blending

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Layer

1. Clean blender quickly (doesn’t have to be perfect)
2. Add frozen strawberries honey water lemon juice and salt
3. Blend using same technique as mango layer
4. Consistency should match mango layer for perfect swirls

If strawberries have tough white centers remove them before freezing for smoother texture

Step 3: Create the Swirls

1. Take tall glasses and alternate spoonfuls of mango and strawberry mixtures
2. After adding both use spoon or straw to create swirl pattern
3. Don’t overmix or you’ll lose the separate colors
4. Top with extra fruit pieces for presentation points

For extra fancy version rim glasses with sugar before filling looks amazing for parties or special occasions

Step 4: Serve Immediately

These Mango Strawberry Swirled Slushies are best enjoyed right away before they melt but if needed u can keep em in freezer for 30 mins just stir before serving

For make-ahead version freeze in airtight container and let sit at room temp for 10 mins before serving then stir to get slushie texture back
