NYCGAL000 59 Posted June 24, 2017 Do you like slushies? Since its hot I crush up ice in the blender then add crystal light with a tiny bit of Water and it makes italian ice or slushy depending how much water you add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYCGAL000 59 Posted June 24, 2017 oh our lucky! its humid and hot in NYC! uggh I hate it! well slushies are like those icy drinks you get from 7 eleven. do you know what italian ice is? ill make one today and send you a picture. If you have a really good blender that makes the ice like snow you can make it. you make the ice like snow, then you put in a seperate cup some sugar free koolaid or crystal lite packet and a tiny bit of Water. then you poor it on the ice in a tupperware and close it and shake so all the ice is covered. it makes italian ice and its only 5 calories! i eat it all day i love it here are some pics what it loks like 1 joe_bloggs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
