How to make a Kool-Aid Slushie

1. Add the cups of ice, Lime Kool Aid mix, water and sugar to a good blender (we use a Ninja blender) or food processor and blend about 30 seconds on high speed until the ice is completely shaved. Adjust and blend until you get the slushie consistency that you want.

2. Pour the drink into glasses; makes about 4 kid-sized servings.

Of course, you can change this recipe for homemade slushies up just by changing the Kool-Aid flavor. I know some people like to add club soda, but I say keep it simple and maybe try some type of carbonation if you are looking for a fun way to up your smoothie game.

Not only do we love this quick kool-aid lime slushie recipe as a green St. Patrick’s Day drink for kids, we love it for those hot summer days! The kids love to use this for their lemonade stands and birthday parties – it’s a fun summer treat, perfect for sunny day fun! Neighbor kids will gather for these delicious slushies and they can be made at a fraction of the cost of store bought smoothies. Keep those ice cube trays full because the kids will be making this cold drink all summer long!

Kool Aid Brings Back Childhood Memories

I feel like Kool-Aid is just part of childhood, right? I remember always having it in as a special treat in the house when I was a kid and I remember those awesome Kool-Aid commercials. Isn’t Kool Aid just the perfect cool down drink?

Back then, it was totally common for kids to run around with Kool-Aid mustaches – I guess you could say I grew up on Kool Aid!

I don’t think it’s nearly as popular now as it was then – my kids have enjoyed it from time to time – but when I was a kid, we always had Kool-Aid on hand.
