4-40 Strawberry Slush

Granizada de Fresa 4-40

Hola Amigos, happy National Strawberry Day! I love strawberries..even when I was back in my hometown, we have a province, Chiriqui with enough altitude and mild climate for strawberries to grow and thrive! They grow juicy, sweet and big...must be all that volcanic ashes enriched soil...but that is another story!

I was planning on posting a cute little DIY kid friendly project we've been working on, but as always my friend "the snow" and his buddies "the clouds" got in the way of my picture taken time and there was no way I would've been able to show you my little one's hard work. What brings me back to National Strawberry Day and my post today!

I called it 4-40 Strawberry Slush or Granizada, my homage to the standard tuning pitch (yes, I'm a musical geek lol) but also because by mixing 4 ingredients for a total of 40 ounces you get perfect harmony of taste and color!

4-40 Strawberry Slush

 8 oz Vanilla Yogurt Frozen 

8 oz Coconut Milk Frozen

8 oz Strawberries Frozen

16 oz Apricot Nectar

Remember, the key to the Ultimate Slush is if at least 75% of all your ingredients are frozen at the time you put them in the blender. You can always thin a slush but you can't thicken it without adding ice and then changing the flavor.

Did You count? 4 ingredients 40 ounces total! Put everything on  blender, and blend everything in high until there are no little chunks of strawberries visible. Serve and Enjoy!

Listo

 Well that was fast and easy right?...and oh so tasty!

A strawberry drink tastes good and looks good no matter the weather.
I choice of textures when it comes to slushies varies depending on how much time I have...in hurry, give me something cold and sweet to take on the go. Plenty of time, give me a spoon so I can scoop the sweet goodness out and enjoy every bite!

Thank You for joining me this afternoon my friends to celebrate National Strawberry Day! Hope you get to enjoy my 4-40 Strawberry Icee today and on the summer days to come!

Besitos,
Lizy
