Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1: Add the chilled coconut water, orange juice, and lime juice to the blender pitcher first. This helps the blades move freely and creates a smooth blend.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Add the frozen mango chunks and frozen mixed berries on top of the liquids. If you prefer a thicker slush, add 1 cup of ice cubes.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Start with the smaller amount of sweetener; you can adjust after blending.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Secure the lid and pulse 4–6 times to break up large pieces. Then blend on high for 30–45 seconds or until the mixture has a smooth, slush-like texture. If the blender stalls, stop, stir with a spatula, then continue blending.
  5. 5
    Step 5: Check consistency and sweetness. If too thick, add 2–4 tablespoons of coconut water and blend briefly. If not sweet enough, add another teaspoon of honey or syrup and pulse.
  6. 6
    Step 6: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh mint and a lime wedge, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.

💡 tips

Use very cold, well-frozen fruit for the best slush texture. If your berries are small or soft, freeze them on a tray first to prevent clumping. For a creamier slush, replace 1/2 cup of coconut water with coconut milk or a splash of plant-based yogurt.

🔄 substitutions

Replace coconut water with chilled green tea or plain water. Swap mango for frozen pineapple for a tangier slush. Use agave, date syrup, or stevia instead of honey to make it vegan or lower in calories. For a citrus twist, substitute orange juice with grapefruit or tangerine juice.

📦 storage

Slushies are best served immediately. To store, transfer to an airtight container and freeze. Thaw slightly in the refrigerator or at room temperature, then re-blend briefly with a splash of water to restore texture before serving.
