Strawberry Lime Slush

As Spring arrives and the days get warmer, I know more than one of you who will enjoy the occasional slushy or two from a fast food joint. While I have not taken the time to find out what some of these establishments put into their icy beverages, I have a hunch that they are laden with sugar and may contain artificial sweeteners and/or colors. Why not, save your dollars and enjoy this healthier version of a strawberry lime slush.

In a blender, place:

10 frozen strawberries

juice of 1 lime

1/2  cup rice milk

1/2 tsp. stevia

serves: 1

I let my strawbwerries soften a bit before blending. If you can't be bothered to wait, you may need to add a bit of water to help the blending along. I found this drink to be refreshing, light and sweet. Enjoy!
