Summer means slushies — but the sugar and calories in most frozen drinks add up fast. The good news: you can make an ice-cold, sugar-free slushie at home in about two minutes using zero sugar drink mix packets. Here's how.
The basic method
You need three things: a zero sugar drink mix packet, ice, and water. Blend roughly 2 cups of ice, half a cup of cold water, and one drink mix packet until slushy. That's it — no ice cream maker, no special equipment, no sugar. Adjust the ice-to-water ratio to get the exact slush texture you like.
The best mixes for slushies
Slush-style flavours work best because they're built for it. Crush Blue Razz Slush makes a classic blue raspberry slushie, and Crush Pink Swirl gives you that pink swirl look and flavour. Fruit punch, lemonade, and tropical flavours also blend beautifully. Because they're zero sugar, you can enjoy them all summer without the sugar crash.
Fun variations
Layer two flavours for a two-tone slushie. Add a splash of sparkling water for fizz. Freeze the blend in popsicle moulds for sugar-free freezies the kids will love. Or rim the cup with a little chamoy and chili-lime seasoning for a spicy-sweet Mexican-style twist that's very on-trend right now.
Why this beats store-bought
A convenience-store slushie is loaded with sugar and costs a few dollars every time. A box of drink mix packets costs pennies per drink, contains zero sugar, and lets you make slushies whenever you want. It's better for you, better for your wallet, and honestly more fun.
