Tropical Punch Fruit Juice Slushies

Ready to kick back & chill out with some Tropical Punch Fruit Juice Kool-Aid Slushies?!

Tropical Punch Kool-Aid Slushie

Well, come on over because with only two ingredients (minus the ice and garnishes) you’ll be chilin’ in no time.

Made with Kool-Aid brand of fruit juice they are incredibly easy and oh, so yummy.

Here in Louisiana, we’re beginning the departure of Spring and the arrival of Summer.

Already.

And in case you didn’t know about our summers here; they get hot, hot, hot.

Luckily, we timed the completion of our new construction just in time before the temperatures start reaching the scorching level but that didn’t mean that moving boxes last weekend with temperatures in the high 80’s wasn’t miserable at times.

To cool things down, I whipped up some Homemade Tropical Punch Kool-Aid Slushies.

Homemade Kool-Aid Slushies

I loooooove grabbing a Sonic slushie in the summertime. They’re delicious, cold, and well… they’re slushy.

Unfortunately, the new house is not exactly right around the corner from a Sonic drive through so I took matters into my own hands.

I’ve made grape slushies in the past using the Kool-Aid powder mix, but now that Wal-Mart is selling the ready made Kool-Aid in 96oz bottles, I wanted to give the Tropical Punch a whirl.

Kool Aid Aisle at Wal-Mart

No need to mix with water and sugar.

It’s already done for you.

With so many flavor selections, I found it impossible to narrow down which type of slushie my movers might like, so I purchased several flavors and varieties.

Kool-Aid Flavor Varieties

I’m all about some options. And I have a couple of get togethers coming up and have big plans for the Cherry Limeade.

For a fizzy slushy, you’ll simply need to combine:

1 1/2 cups of the Tropical Punch Kool-Aid

1 cup of club soda

3-4 cups of ice (3 if you like it juicy, 4 if you like it more icy)

That’s it.

Toss it into the blender and let it roar until your ice is smooth.

Homemade Kool-Aid Slushies

Now, you want to know the secret to not only cooling down your movers, but making them feel appreciated?

Garnish those Tropical Punch Kool-Aid slushies!

Tropical Punch Kool-Aid Slushies

They’ll be like oh wow, you didn’t need to go through all that trouble and you’ll be all “really, really it’s no bother…..now follow me with those shoe boxes to my closet”.

Works. Like. Magic!

And for those of you who live in the following locations, pro fisherman Jim Dillard will be stopping in to promote the new 96oz bottles of Kool-Aid. There will be product giveaways, t-shirts, games, and fun activities!

Friday May 30th 5-7pm: 13675 Highway 43 Russellville, AL WM Supercenter Saturday May 31st 3-5pm: 3100 Hough Rd Florence, AL WM Supercenter Saturday May 31st 6-8pm: 517 Avalon Ave Muscle Shoals, AL WM Supercenter Friday June 20th 5-7pm: 1210 Mineral Wells Ave Paris, TN WM Supercenter Saturday June 21st 3-5pm: 1225 Paris Rd Murray, KY WM Supercenter Saturday June 21st 6-8pm: 809 N 12th St Murray, KY WM Supercenter Friday August 8th 5-7pm: 360 Harbison Blvd Columbia, SC WM Supercenter Saturday August 9th 3-5pm: 1326 Bush River Rd Columbia, SC WM Supercenter Saturday August 9th 6-8pm: 2401 Augusta Rd West Columbia, SC WM Supercenter

And just out of curiosity, if you’ve moved recently how long did it take you to unpack?

I feel like it’s dragggggging and I’m never going to make my way through all the chaos… and boxes.

Tell me I’m not alone.

I'm not even going to complain about how cold it h I'm not even going to complain about how cold it has been in Louisiana when friends are having it so bad in Texas, but y'all... I had to pull out and dust off my Alaskan cruise clothes when we lost power earlier in the week. 🥶 We just aren't equipped down here. I've had ALL THE SOUPS on rotation including this Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle that has been on the blog forever, but got some new photos. Because if you're gonna be iced in, might as well photograph & update your recipes! I hope you are staying WARM where you are. 🥣 🐔 🥣

Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel To Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel Topped Banana Bread will get you outta bed. 🍌 🍞 🛏 High five for Friday and weekend breakfast on deck! PS: If you haven't sprinkled your streusel with turbinado sugar, you are missing out. It keeps the topping crunchy even after sealing the leftovers. 👏 🍞 👏

Temperatures are droppin' and my slow cooker is ho Temperatures are droppin' and my slow cooker is hoppin'! 🙌 Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup means you don't have to go outside to flip the burgers on the grill OR make your kitchen all burger-y by cooking indoors. 🍔 🥣 It’s also comfort food in a bowl and I think after the past few days, it's the perfect weekend embrace.

Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since it's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good ole’ Olive Garden soup, salad & breadsticks combo, I took matters into my own hands and recreated the experience at home complete with Pasta e Fagioli. 🥣 Side note: Did y'all know they sell their OG salad dressing at the grocery?! 😳 Since I'm also attempting to do better with meal prepping and make ahead meals this new year, I'm freezing half for the next time I have a craving I can't control...or the temps in Louisiana drop without warning. WINNING. 🙌🥣
