Ninja Fruit Drink Slushi

24 hour prep time

Yields: 3 cups
dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Fruit Juice of choice
• 1 cup Fruit Juice of choice or Water (reserved)

Directions:

1. Pour Juice into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, up to Freeze line
2. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
3. When ready to enjoy, add Juice or beverage of choice up to Drinkable Pour-in line, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Slushi setting, re-spin if necessary, adding more liquid if needed

Hoff Thoughts: *Freezing without the lid or any covering helps to prevent the “volcano” mound from forming. Should a mound form simply scrape with the back of a spoon & smooth over shavings until a level base is formed, this prevents the blade from cutting into the container.
