Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe pineapple chunks fresh or frozen
  • 1 lime fresh lime juice about 2 tablespoons
  • 10 fresh mint leaves mint leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the pineapple chunks, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and ice cubes into a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, about 30-45 seconds. The texture should be thick and slushy with no large ice pieces.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash more lime juice or a little water and blend briefly to loosen.
  4. Pour the slushie into glasses, distributing it evenly. The bright yellow and green specks from mint should be visible throughout.
  5. Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint to enhance aroma and presentation.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy the refreshing, icy burst of tropical flavors.

Notes

Adjust the amount of ice to reach your preferred slushiness. For an extra twist, add a splash of coconut milk before blending.
