Strawberry slush

[Marshall Banana]

I made strawberry slush today, and it was yummy, but it wasn't sweet enough; I just blended some strawberries with some ice cubes and added sugar! What is my drink missing?

I love the strawberry slush drinks that are sold at Beard Papa's! I wish I knew how they're made!

[Værn]

Needs more strawberries, of course!
Maybe add bananas? XD

[Aerith's Knight]

I like strawberry slush puppy's. xD

[Spatvark]

Try adding a bit of lime?

Y'know what I haven't had in years? A Cokeshake. Nothing complicated, it's just Coca-Cola in a glass, with vanilla ice cream added. It'll probably turn out to taste horrible, but I seem to remember it fondly as a kid.

[Shlup]

If you are like me, you will find that cranberry juice fills in the gaps.

[rubah]

maybe you went too far in the sweetness and you should try going backwards. What's it like without extra sugar?

[Rye]

Trying adding banana flavor. I had a banana strawberry smoothie yesterday with Huxley and it was delicious. <3

[Yar]

Try a fruit juice.

[Momiji]

Kiwi complements strawberry nicely.

[Marshall Banana]

Maybe I should add juice and more sugar. :kauberry:

I urge anyone who sees a Beard Papa's to go to it and purchase a strawberry smoothie; I think that's what the strawberry drink is called. It doesn't have a creamy texture, though; it's slushy. It's the best strawberry drink I've ever tasted!

There are cups displayed in the window of Beard Papa's at Victoria Gardens - advertising the smoothie flavors that are available - and the strawberry cup has pink paper strawberries attached to it. I wanted to steal it, but I didn't see a way to get behind the store counter without getting in trouble!

Tell me how the Beard Papa's strawberry drink is made, if you buy one!

I tasted my slush before I added sugar - it was less sweet!

[strawberryman]

You have earned a gold star in my book.
Though, I would make more strawberry smoothies/slushes if I didn't eat all of the strawberries beforehand. >_>

[Marshall Banana]

Unless strawberries are coated in chocolate or something, I can't eat them. If I eat plain strawberries, I look like Cinnamoroll:

[Miriel]

Did you try freezing the strawberries? That way, you don't need to add as much ice and still get the slush texture and more of the strawberry taste.

[Yamaneko]

You forgot the vodka.

I didn't know that! I'll freeze my strawberries next time! Thanks! =O

[Rantz]

You should add some love!

[cloud_doll]

ooo, I had a smoothie yesterday =D
It was really good.

I added frozen strawberries and frozen rasberries, and then some bananas, and a little bit of orange juice and milk.

Yummy!

[Jessweeee♪]

Strawberry ice cream! The best you can find! Strawberry yogurt, too.

[Evastio]

Adding ice cubes made from juice would've probably made it taste a lot better.

Wait, why am I even encouraging this EoFF strawberry nonsense?

That's a good idea.

Be yummy.

[Miriel]

Oh yeah, yogurt or ice cream helps a TON with the sweetness, but then you have more of a smoothie than a slushee.

[Shlup]

My strawberry drink recipes:

1:
Fill blender half-way with ice
Fill other half with frozen strawberries
Fill to tops of solid ingredients with cranberry juice
Blend
Squee

2:
Same as 1 but strawberry yogurt instead of cranberry juice

From Wikipedia:

In Ohio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio), the root beer floats are also referred to as a Boston cooler.

I've never heard anyone ask for or refer to a root beer float as a "Boston Cooler." Why must Wikipedia always lie to me? :(

nevermind

When we made those things in home ec I think we used strawberry concentrate and it made some good stuff. But maybe that was a smoothie. It was a long time ago.

[Shlup]

I like my "Boston coolers" with mint n' chip ice cream. :}

[Momiji]

I thought Boston coolers were ginger ale mixed with ice cream. :o

[Spatvark]

Oh, you americans and naming things. Gosh, darn. Guess I best go tell the parade people to rename the things they stand on as they go down the street. Poot.

[IronOcean]

hey those big time store places actually use lots of corn syrup and sugar and things from concentrate to add alot of flavor with a little product.
try this (stop me if i sound like a snob) take the amount of strawberries you want to use put in pot, sprinkle the top with sugar bring to a boil (berries have alot of water in them it will come out) then turned way down to a low heat for 3 min. cool that down then add that back to your blender with ice drizzle corn syrup over the ice and a pinch of salt (brings out sweet flavors as well as savory) then blend it up :D

[Levian]

When I clicked this thread I thought it read Strawberry sluts and now I'm kinda disappointed.

[Marshall Banana]

Hey! I made more slush!

This slush was almost perfect, but it's a little too sweet.

Last night I froze about seven strawberries - like Miriel suggested - but I cut them and added sugar to them before I froze them. Today I put my strawberries in a blender and added five cubes of ice and a little lemon juice. Unfortunately, I freaked out when I saw how stiff my slush was after it was blended, and I added plain strawberries and extra lemon juice; I think shouldn't have. Next time I'll use only two cubes of ice.

My slush was yummy, though! I tried to drink it with a puffer face.

I'm going to steal it, I think.

[Marshall Banana]

I dare you. :kaofight:

I want to see other homemade strawberry treats!

My strawberry slush has a crush on your strawberry parfait.

[Momiji]

My strawberry slush has a crush on your strawberry parfait.

Are you proposing that we make a strawberry slush, then pour the parfait on top?

That would turn out to be rather interesting.

[kikimm]

I'm not a huge fan of slushy things, but that LOOKS so good and pretty it would be hard to resist, as is anything strawberry flavored.

My boyfriend makes the absolute best smoothies/shakes/whatever, though. Oh my god. Frozen mixed berries, banana, honey, fruit juice. Num num num num num

STRAWBERRY MATING :o

[Momiji]

I wonder what strawberry eggs look like...

[XxSephirothxX]

Smoothies > Slushies! And you gotta add bananas. They cut down on the sweetness and are the ultimate combination with strawberries, just like chocolate and peanut butter and the Lone Ranger and Tonto.

[kikimm]

Chocolate and peanut butter is death for me, Wes. What do you say about that?

[XxSephirothxX]

Grow a pair.

[kikimm]

I guess I should have known better than to mess with you.

Then why did you name yourself after one, Monda? You should be Marshall strawberry!

"Marshall banana" is a reference to an episode of Cowboy Bebop. It can't be changed! =O
