DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 10, 2013 I had to share this because it's so good! I have a weakness for frozen, slushy type drinks. For instance, Taco Bell's pina colada freeze was always a favorite of mine. But I don't need all the sugar and calories so it's rare I'll have one. So, I have done some experimenting! I took Ice (that's the brand name) coconut pineapple sparkling Water and froze it. (this rids the carbonation). Then, I crushed it up in a blender. Next, I poured in some more of the coconut pineapple sparkling Water and blended it together (the blender killed the carbonation again). This made it the slushy consistency. I swear, it is just as good as the Taco Bell freeze. Maybe even better but ZERO calories. I figure if I add a little rum, it would make a really good low calorie pina colada too! I think this worked with this particular brand because it has so much flavor. I'm going to try it with other flavors, too. (again, this is carbonated so be careful. I always get the carbonation out before drinking it) 9 Daliaha, newlife828, aviva1979 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2012 359 Posted July 11, 2013 Yum, I love Slush Puppies and ICEEs! Stupid question, but how did you freeze this, like in ice cube trays? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 11, 2013 Yum, I love Slush Puppies and ICEEs! Stupid question, but how did you freeze this, like in ice cube trays? Actually that's a good question! I meant to include that and forgot! Thank you! Yes, I made a tray of ice cubes with it. If you just freeze the whole bottle it'll be too big to crush in the blender. 2 2012 and newlife828 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suziecat 379 Posted July 13, 2013 I just tried this and it was awesome. And so easy to do. My new go to instead of a sugary 7-11 or Q-Trip slushy. Thanks for sharing. Next time I might put a touch of rum in it. 1 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suziecat 379 Posted September 3, 2013 Just some FYI. We made two pitchers yesterday with Rum in them. Holy Cow. It was a great Labor Day. LOL. 2 Ladybandito and newlife828 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
