15 Healthy Frozen Fruit Slush Recipes

Healthy Slush Basics

The key to healthy slushies: use 100% fruit juice as your base, dilute with water to bring sugar content to 10–12%, and avoid artificially sweetened syrups. Fresh-squeezed juice delivers the most nutrients but should be strained before use. Pre-chilling your liquid for 2+ hours ensures the best freeze results.
