Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Pineapple Layer

In a blender, combine frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, honey/maple syrup (if using), and lime juice.

Pour into a bowl and place in the freezer while you make the second layer.

Step 2: Blend the Strawberry Layer
4. Rinse the blender, then add frozen strawberries, orange juice, honey/maple syrup, and lime juice.
5. Blend until smooth and slushy. Adjust sweetness or liquid as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Swirled Slushies
6. Alternate spooning or pouring layers of pineapple and strawberry into your serving glasses.
7. Use a straw or skewer to gently swirl for a marbled effect (don’t overmix).
8. Garnish with fresh fruit, mint, or a fun straw.

Step 4: Serve Immediately
9. Enjoy right away while icy and vibrant!

Notes

Use Frozen Fruit – Essential for thick, slushy texture.
Adjust Sweetness – Taste before adding sweetener—ripe fruit may need none.
Layer Carefully – Spoon gently for distinct layers and clean swirls.
Serve Fast – These melt quickly, so serve immediately for best texture.
Make it a Smoothie – Add yogurt or banana for a creamy variation.
