So in the summer I went blueberry picking with a friend for his church event. Apparently somebody knows somebody who has like a huge backyard just full of blueberry trees and they don't fertilize them or anything they just let them grow naturally. It's one of those U-Pick blueberries and thanks to the connection they said that we could pick as much as we want (or as much as we could carry) because the rest they'd just get people to come in with huge blueberry picking trackers and take everything. So I picked a lot of blueberries, I mean more than I would probably go out and buy to eat in a year. I'm not a fruit person, I know they're healthy, but I'm picky and lazy. But since these are free and blueberries are good for you, what the heck. So I ate a whole bunch and they would probably go bad before I could finish them all, so I throw the rest of them in the freezer to make frozen blueberries and they are awesome to eat in the summer time!!! Then one day I got thirsty and I thought, why not make a blueberry slushy?? And I did and it was awesome!!! On a side note, I had trouble blending the blueberries and the ice because the ice cubes would just get stuck and wouldn't blend? Apparently you were supposed to put either the ice or the fruit first? And also add some water? See now I forgot again I'm gonna have to figure it out next time.... Ice cubes first or fruit first....
Anyway, off topic. Basically what I'm trying to say is that whenever you get thirsty in the summer time but you are too picky and lazy to feed yourself fruits and you want some delicious organic goodness, make yourself a fresh fruit slushy. I actually do like fruits, I just don't like getting messy eating them. For example, apples. My hands get sticky and I'm left with the core of the apple. Oranges. My hands get sticky too and I'm left with the peel. Bananas, etc. So since the blueberry slushy, I've also made myself a strawberry blueberry, a blueberry watermelon, and basically just whatever fruits I happen to find in our fridge that I could blend into. Wish we had bananas so I could make a strawberry banana shake!! Love those!
So here's a picture of my watermelon slushy, all that was left for me to blend. No need for the recipe, just blend whatever fruits you wanna eat in liquid form and ice and add some water and blend! And do figure out which one you put in first, ice or fruit, sorry I can't remember. And yes it is a beer glass, I just wanted it to look fancy.
