Refreshing and lightly sweet, this is the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day!

This Blackberry Basil Slush is the perfect, healthy way to cool you off this summer! #sugarfree #vegan

Slushes are my favorite way to cook off these days.  These are so simple to make and it’s super pretty too.  I love the combination of blackberries and basil.  Only one of my kids didn’t love the basil flavor so I made it again with only half of the recommended amount.  My thoughts on that?  Use even more!  Full disclosure though, I adore fresh basil.

Just saying, feel free to add some vodka in these babies for an adult beverage.  Right???  And there are lots of antioxidants in the blackberries so it’s still healthy!

    Dear Lauren, I love basil in my slushies. This sounds wonderful and refreshing. It is supposed to go up to the 90s today…I think I’ll be needing this! Stay cool. xo, Catherine

    I just love basil and berries and the fact that it’s a slush just makes it even more fun. Oh and I’ll take that splash of vodka!
