  1. Cheap, easy, and perfect for the kids. Can't beat it.
     
  2. Slushies are the new shakes and to think for years and years I thought a shake was what you did to your bootie. Kiwi watermelon flavor...the best!
     
  3. This is a fantastic recipe...have came back to it every summer. Thanks for another winner - both for kids and big kids too.
     
  4. OK, I'm nuts. I made this in early Dec, LOL. I used cherry (of course) and used 1/2 the ask for sweetening and replaced the sugar with Splenda. My problem was that no amount of blending with my Vita Mix would reduce all of the ice to a smooth slush. It insisted on remaining quite lumpy even with poking and prodding the ice down and a total of 3 mins of blending. I even started with crushed ice. As nobody else said anything about this I can only assume that it's the fault of my machine. Ice chunks or not, I'll sure enjoy this next summer.
     
  5. Fabulous. No kool aid crystals in the grocery store where I shop so I used juice crystals and I used less sugar really good ?? ??
