Okay, if you’re broke or just feeling lazy, the blender is your best friend. Throw in some ice, juice (or soda), and a little sugar. Blend it until it sounds like a tiny machine gun, and you’ve got a DIY slushie.
The trick is to use frozen fruit. A handful of frozen strawberries or mangoes makes it naturally sweet and thick. It’s basically a smoothie pretending to be a Slurpee, but it’s healthy, so that’s a win for your dentist.
The downside? You have to clean the blender. Ugh. But that cold, tangy reward is totally worth the ten seconds of rinsing.
