We received one of these Magic Bullet systems for Christmas and I have been using it nearly every day. Fortunately, it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. I had some extra cranberries in the freezer from the holidays, so my new favorite beverage is a Cranberry Strawberry Lemon Slush. (I wanted something cold-sour-sweet and that’s what was already in the fridge.) So if you like cold-sour-sweet, here’s the recipe.
- 1 cup frozen sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup frozen cranberries
- 3 packets Splenda (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice + enough water to fill the cup.
Throw it all in the cup if you have a Magic Bullet (cranberries last so they’re closest to the blade) or the blender if you don’t. If you want it thick so you can eat it like a dessert, use less water; to drink it add more. Fat free, loaded with vitamin C and relatively low calorie. Enjoy!
I use the bullet fairly often for fruit smoothies. For those who aren’t into artificial sugars, using apple juice instead of water also sweetens your smoothies usually without overpowering the taste of everything else.
Also, although perhaps not in this case you can use milk (or soymilk which sometimes comes in different sweetnesses and flavors) instead of water for a shake like smoothie.
yuck
i got this bullet at a thrift store for $19 – great deal the only thing missing was the recipe book
i have been using it mainly to mix up a nice slimfast slush – i got the hiprotein vanilla and throw in a mandrin orange, ff milk a few ice cubes and the scoop of slimfast and i love it!
so i wanted to do a lemonade slush – i tried this and it isnt what i expected
i dont know what i did wrong except use dried cranberries instead of frozen ones
oh well onward with a search for more bullet recipes
peace out
I bet that was pretty bad with dried cranberries. Definitely try it with the frozen ones, though, it’s really good.
Also, if you like the orange-vanilla; kind of like an Orange Julius, try using the high protein vanilla drink and adding frozen orange juice concentrate to taste.
