Delicious, Organic Fresh Fruit Slurpee Recipe

Home-made, organic and all-natural, frozen ice drinks are a fabulous way to cool down over summer. Making an organic, home-made, granita is a much, MUCH, healthier option than those heavily laden with high-fructose corn syrup, frozen Slurpee, Slushies and Cola drinks. This way you are getting a healthy serve of anti-oxidants and vitamins rather than a decent serving of toxic food colourings and flavourings.

You will need a heavy duty blender that can handle frozen fruit and ice blocks. We love our Vita-mix 5200 as it is super powerful and also BPA free.

My latest creation is a delicious super-antioxidant refreshing granita blend consists of blackberries, strawberries, green grapes and freshly orange juice. See how to make this recipe below.

Ingredients – makes 2 full glasses

1 cup of fresh organic strawberries or if you can’t get these then use Elgin Organic Frozen Strawberries

1 cup of fresh organic blackberries  or if you can’t get these then use Elgin Organic Frozen Blackberries

1 small bunch (about half a cup) of organic green grapes or you can use red ones

the juice of one organic orange

1 cup of ice cubes

1/2 cup of filtered water room temperature if you are using frozen berries rather than fresh

Method

Using a Vita-mix, or alternatively another, high- power blender, pop into the blender jug a third of all the above ingredients  and blend on a high speed, (if using a Vita-mix, push the ingredients down into the blades with the tamper stick), for approximately 20 seconds.

As the first lot of ingredients blends into a smooth sorbet consistency, then bit by bit add in the rest of the ingredients and blend into a smooth, slightly, sloppy, frozen sorbet consistency.  Pour into glasses, top with a frozen blackberry and drink straight away.

*Note – The reason I recommend not blending all the ingredients in one go is that this would put too much stress on your blenders motor.
