Strawberry Lime Slush! Sipping Towards Summer! Torani Friday

Today I am making an awesome strawberry lime slush for Torani Friday!  Super easy to make and super delicious!  I have use Torani strawberry syrup and Torani lime syrup along with fresh strawberries and fresh lime.  In this case I put an entire lime wedge in, peel and all, to really get that lime flavor in the slush.

My goal here is to mimick the strawberry and lime slushy at Sonic and I came so close that I made it better!  The secret is the fresh fruit.  Instead of ice cream topping, the fresh berries and the fresh lime really take this to the next level as far as flavor goes.  

I have used my Nutri Ninja blender to make this but you can use any drink blender or a regular blender, I will say though, if you are using regular ice cubes, you should crush them first to make the process of the "slushing" easier.  If your fridge has a crushed ice option, then use that.  If not, simply crush your ice first.

Add the syrups to the crushed ice as well as the fresh fruit then top it all of with club soda or sparkling water or lemon lime soda.  Whatever is your choice, just make sure to pour enough water to come to the same level as the amount of crushed ice you have.

Blend until everything is nice and slushy, this will only take a few seconds.  Then pour into a serving glass or just pop a straw in the blender cup and enjoy!  I like to add more sliced lime and a fresh strawberry garnish if I am feeling fancy!

Don't limit yourself to strawberry and lime!  You can make slushes of any flavor you like!  You can even use whipping cream and vanilla and caramel syrup to make a creamy version of this slush.  Let your imagination be your guide and your collection of Torani is your only limitation!

I hope you give this strawberry lime slush a try and I hope you love it!

You can find Torani syrups on their website!

Summer in a Bowl! Avocado, Mango Salad with Strawberries!

Today I want to share a delicious salad that I have been enjoying for a couple of weeks now for my lunch. This avocado mango salad with strawberries, hits all the notes, is super satisfying and will keep you coming back for more. I think you are going to love it!

This salad screams summer! It has all the freshness that you look for in a summer lunch. It smells amazing when you are making it and it looks amazing when you get it all in the bowl together. This one is a knock out the ballpark winner! I personally love a salad that has not greens in it from time to time. I love to have a chopped salad that has lots of veggies and fruits mixed together and this one is the perfect combination.

I know what you are thinking! Mango AND avocado AND strawberries AND onions? Really? Yes Really! Trust me on this one. This hits all those flavor notes you are looking for. Sweetness from the berries, tang from the mango, rich creaminess from the avocado and spicy bite from the onion. Lime juice brings the whole thing together with a palate cleansing citrus burst and married with a little bit of agave nectar to enhance the natural sweetness of the berries and the mango this is a real winner. Top this all off with a sprinkling of homemade chili lime seasoning and you have one out of this world experience in your bowl for lunch or dinner!

Like I said, I have been enjoying this for lunch the last couple of weeks. Normally I only eat two meals a day so Rick and I either enjoy breakfast and dinner or brunch and dinner. This is the perfect afternoon offering. i have been pairing this with a hard boiled egg on the side and this takes me to dinner with no problem. This is light but filling and it will stay with you and give you what you need to get the job done.

This salad is enough for two people as a side dish to a nice piece of grilled chicken or you can even serve this on top of the grilled chicken or a nice filet of grilled or broiled fish! This salad has amazing potential. Make it fresh when you want to enjoy this because it won't keep very well past a day or so because the avocado may get to mushy and disappear if it is ever so slightly too ripe. So you will want to keep that in mind.

If you don't have access to fresh strawberries or they are not in season, you could use blueberries, blackberries or even cubed nectarine, plum or peaches would be great. You can basically make this work with so many different fruits! Don't have sweet onion? Use red onion or green onion to round it out. Don't like onion? Skip it! Make this salad your own and enjoy!

I used a homemade chili lime seasoning on my salad. If you would like to see it, stay tuned because I will be sharing that in an upcoming video! I know you are just going to love that seasoning because it is so versatile in so many different dishes! Keep an eye out for that coming soon!

I think this is the perfect summer salad. I hope you do too! I know that when you give this a try you are going to keep on making it all summer long!

I hope you give this salad a try and I hope you love it! 

Happy Eating!
