Berry Lemon Slushie
A delicious blend of berries, lemonade, and Sprite make this irresistible slushie that will have you craving more of the sweet drink!
Can you believe it is already the first week of September? Where has the time gone? Where has the summer gone? I don’t know about you, but I cannot answer any of those questions. So although we will all be anticipating fall and the delicious flavors associated with it (hello, Pinterest!) you can still soak up these last few hot days of summer and the sun with this delicious slushie! I know that I am not yet ready to give in to fall yet, so I will be happily sipping this slushie as we are still going through a bit of a heat wave here. Don’t get me wrong, I am excited for the cooler days of fall. Just not quite ready for them yet. :)
Efrain and I moved back to our campus this past week! It has been a great start to the school year so far, and I am so happy to be living with 3 of my good friends on campus. It is incredible to think that we are in our senior year- we all agreed there should be a year after this where we can still live on campus and take classes in things like balancing check books and finding apartments. We do not want to leave! It seems like everyone has started school by now too, with all of the elementary, middle and high schools back in session. Are you ready for this academic year? (I am not. How is it already here??)
Enough about me though; I really want to let you know about this slushie. It is one of those simple recipe, few ingredient treats that are easy to make but taste absolutely amazing. You guys know that I have a fondness for berry recipes, smoothies, and the like. This recipe was based off of something that my dad used to make for my sister and I, but kicked up a few notches with the addition of lemon and a triple berry blend. You can taste the tartness of the lemonade, the sweetness of the berries, and the slight fizz from the Sprite. It is the perfect after school treat when you want something a bit more sweetly satisfying than a smoothie.
I hope that you enjoy these last few days of summer, and the beginning days of fall! Even as the weather gets cooler, this will be a great treat to remind you of the great summer days!
