If you have ever wondered if you can make a slushie in a blender, guess what!? You definitely can! Before I had my Ninja Slushi Machine, I used to make slushies in the blender all the time. All you need is your favorite flavors, some ice, and a great blender! So let’s get started!
Why you’ll love homemade slushies
- Cost Efficient: I know you know how much a slushie costs at those little roadside stands…or even at Sonic! And all they are is a little flavoring and a LOT of ice! So do yourself a favor and save the money by making these homemade slushies!
- Simple to Make: All you need is juice or flavor syrup and ice. Here are some slushie recipes for both adults and kids you can try if you need ideas!
- Summer Favorite: In the summer, my kids love having something cold to snack on. These slushies are perfect for that!
Materials Needed
- Ninja Blender (or another high powered blender)
- 1 Kool Aid Packet (or Flavor syrup or Juice of your choice)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- About 4 cups of Ice
Variations/ Adaptations
- Use the flavors you love: Not loving the Kool-Aid idea? Try Hawaiian Punch, Fanta, or even a flavoring syrup instead. Here are more recipes you can try!
- Add Fruit: the beauty of using a blender over a slushie machine, is that you can add fruit which makes it a healthy slushie recipe.
- Turn it into a Smoothie: Just by adding a bit of ice cream, milk, or yogurt, you can easily turn this slushie into a smoothie!
How to Make A Slushie in a Blender

Other Ideas for Slushie’s!
My kids loved this slushie so much that they thought their friends and neighbors might too. So they used the Slushie Cart I built as a “Slushie Stand” to sell to all their friends. I love that they are so creative!
Also, have I told you about how easy it is to use the Ninja Slushi Machine? I love it and the kids do too!
