Blueberries are in season for a few short weeks, during the heat of summer in our area. Seek out flavorful low bush varieties at your local farmers’ markets – you’ll recognize them by their smaller size. They pack a punch of flavor and are more closely related to wild blueberries than conventional high bush varieties that you’ll find at the grocery stores.
What you’ll need
- Blueberries (Fresh or frozen)
- Orange juice
- Ice (if using fresh blueberries)
- A good blender!
How to make a Blueberry SlushIe
- Fresh berries: Simply blend up fresh blueberries with a splash of orange juice and ice, using just enough orange juice to get the blender going.
- Frozen blueberries: Blend frozen blueberries with orange juice, and skip the ice!
