If it’s not hot where you are now, it’s going to be! And you must be armed with a great summer beverage/smoothie/slush. The kids and I made these a couple of nights ago and then froze them so we could enjoy them again a 2nd day. And if I am being honest, I don’t really drink my slushes out of a mason jar. But I thought it looked pretty cool AND because we had leftovers that we needed to freeze, the jars were the perfect answer. I like this slush for 2 reasons. One being that one of my favorite fruits is a mango. And two, I love the refreshing taste this slush has!

MANGO FROZEN SLUSHES

• 1 mango, cored, peeled and chopped
• 6 ounces of frozen limeade concentrate (1/2 can)
• 1 cup sprite or 7-Up
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 3-5 cups ice
• lime slices, for serving

When you’re ready to serve, remove the jars from the freezer.  Let thaw about 10 minutes. Use a straw or fork to stir up the slush. Add a lime slice and serve.

Serves 4-6
