Conscious Cravings: Satisfying Slushies

Phew. It’s a hot one. Is it just me or does it feel like the sun is a little closer to the Earth right now? What I wouldn't do for a refreshing drink!

Friends, I have some treats for you.

There is nothing quite like a frozen, fruity drink. I remember going to the 7/11 when I was a kid getting a BIG giant slurpee. I don’t remember my first frozen drink with rum, but I bet it was equally as refreshing. Now, far removed from that sugar brimmed daiquiri, I do love some summer flavored, light and refreshing frozen drinks. My goal is always to ENJOY life & treats, but keep my goals in focus. It's easy to go overboard with slushies & totally blow out your goals, leaving you feeling bloated and over-served.

Try these slushers for a refreshing summer cool down. You don't have to add the booze to the Energize Slusher

White Claw Slusher

1 can Lemon White Claw

1 ½ cup frozen strawberries

1 ½ cup ice

Come all ingredients in a blender and blend until combined. Serve immediately. Adjust for sweetness as needed.

Want the non-alcoholic version of this delight?

Hold the White Claw and vodka and replace with seltzer, lemon seltzer like LaCroix lemon or for an even sweeter taste, LaCroix LimoCello.

Add a scoop of BB Performance Lemon Energize to this one too!

No matter the occasion, no matter your goal, there is a refreshing drink for you.

What refreshing drink are you enjoying on these hot June days?
