How to Make Your Frozen Mango & Peach Slushy:
-
Plan Ahead: Since you’ll need frozen fruit, it’s best to prepare at least 12 hours in advance. Slice fresh peaches (don’t worry about peeling them) and freeze them along with the mango. If you're short on time, store-bought frozen fruit works too, but fresh is always best for the ultimate flavor.
-
Blend the Ingredients: Add the frozen peaches, mango, fresh mint, and thyme into a blender along with a handful of ice. Melt the honey slightly for easy pouring and drizzle it in as you blend. Keep blending until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency.
-
Top with Sidekick Soda: Once blended, pour the slushy mixture into a tall, fancy glass. Top it with Mango Sidekick Soda to give it that natural, fizzy finish.
Add Some Extra Sparkle
If you’re in the mood to elevate this healthy carbonated drink, try adding a splash of rosé or riesling to the mix. The wine pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the peach and mango, making this a fun and refreshing adult version of the drink.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish each drink with a fresh or frozen peach slice and a sprig of thyme (bonus points if you have flowering thyme for a pop of color!). The presentation is as refreshing as the drink itself!
A Low-Sugar, Healthy Soda for All Ages
This Frozen Mango & Peach Slushy is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a low-carb soda or a non-GMO soda alternative. The natural sweetness from the fruit and honey makes it a delicious option for kids, too, without the worries of added sugar or artificial flavors. It’s one of the best healthy drinks that aren’t water, combining the benefits of natural fruits with the refreshing fizz of soda.
The perfect summer Kicktail!
