Short Cut Blueberry Lemonade Slushie & Two Great Summer Beverage Options!
“This post is sponsored by LunchBox. All views and opinions expressed are that of our own.” #NeverEndingSummer
Now that the weather is heating up, I noticed my family is getting super thirsty! After a while, water gets a little boring after the umpteenth cup. Thankfully, we love diversity around here so drink mixes like Kool-Aid and Country Time Lemonade are favorites ( and have been for years)! I still remember being the *official* “Kool-Aid drink maker” when I was a kid. I would always accidentally spill the powder over the gallon edges-ooops!
Now, things are super simplified thanks to Kool-Aid Easy Mix Liquid and Country Time Lemonade Starter. These convenient products allow consumers to make as little as an 8 ounce cup of Country Time Lemonade or Kool-Aid and as much as a 2 quart pitcher. All you have to do is squeeze, measure, and pour out the concentrated liquid into your cup or pitcher–easy peasy.
After a harsh winter stuck inside, it is so nice to be able to head outdoors and enjoy the 70 degree weather. Days like these often have me heading indoors for some shade, and some icy refreshments. Easy to make frozen drinks like my Short Cut Blueberry Lemonade Slushie are quick and take minutes to prepare. I normally would use Country Time Lemonade Powder, but now the Country Time Lemonade Starter streamlines things even quicker!
Want to make this icy, and very much refreshing beverage for your family, or maybe even yourself?
Here is what you’ll need: *makes one serving, but can be also made into pitcher size
- 1 1/2 cups of ice cubes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of Country Time Lemonade Starter
- 2 1/4 inch slices of lemon
- Small handful of blueberries *can be made without
Directions:
Blend ice, Lemonade Starter, and 1 lemon slice in blender until crushed
Pour into your cup, and squeeze a few blueberries over the top, and garish with a few additional berries
Enjoy immediately with a straw or spoon!
The beauty of this shortcut slushie is that you can also use the Kool-Aid Easy Liquid Mix too! My dad used to make these for us when we were kids and we loved them so much! They were such a low calorie treat that my kids can now enjoy!

My little one especially LOVES slushies. I have never made him one, though. I should….
That looks so good! I can’t wait to give these a try. They’re going to be perfect for the hot Florida weather.
Cold lemonade sounds so good right now. It was actually hot out today!
Ooh yummy, I need to make one of those. I’ll definitely pick up some of that Kool-aid soon.
This sounds so refreshing! I love blueberry and lemon together- it’s the quintessential summer flavor pairing!
Oh my goodness, these sound amazing. Here in Texas it is already in the 80’s so this is MUCH needed, already :) Thanks so much for the idea.
My kids love slushies. They would go nuts for this.
This looks so good. It’s perfect for a hot summer day.
Dang! How can something so pretty and task be so easy!!!! I am going to make this ALL SUMMER LONG for my son and for myself. I will be adding white rum to mine though :)
I don’t know how something so tasty can be so easy, but I do know that I will be making this for my family all summer long. (And adding a bit of rum to mine on the weekends!)
That looks yummy! My kids would love to have this!
This slushy looks so great! I’ll pin the recipe and try it when it gets hot outside! Thanks!
That’s just about the best looking drink I have seen in a long time and I love that I can use kool-aid and country time to make it!
