That said, let’s get started with some varied and delicious recipes you can make with your slushie machine!

Recipes for the Slushi Ninja frozen drinks machine

1) Cola Slush or ANY soft drink of your choice

INSTRUCTIONS: Pour 1L of Coca-Cola into the Slushi tank (for about 4 glasses), and start the Slush programme. In around 30 minutes, it’ll be ready to serve (once the drink reaches optimal frozen temperature, the Slushi will beep three times). Serve immediately.

Instead of cola, you can use:

• Orange soda (like Fanta Orange or Aquarius Orange),
• Lemon soda (like Fanta Lemon or Aquarius Lemon) or lime soda,
• Pomegranate sodas, or Aquarius or Trina with red fruits,
• Ginger ale (like Schweppes Ginger Ale),
• Any sugary soft drink, such as: Sprite, 7Up, Schweppes Lemon, Kas Orange / Lemon, Trina Orange / Lemon, Strawberry Fanta, Nestea, Minute Maid...

2) Iced Coffee Frappé

INGREDIENTS:

700 ml whole milk, cold

2 tablespoons of double cream

700 ml of black coffee, cold

120 g icing sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large jug or bowl, whisk all ingredients together until well combined and the sugar has fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into the Slushi Ninja.
2. Select the FRAPPÉ programme.
3. Once the drink reaches the ideal frozen temperature, the unit will beep three times. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream and chocolate or caramel sauce. Absolutely addictive!

3) Frozen Lemonade Slush

INGREDIENTS: 1400 ml of cold lemonade. To prepare it, you'll need:

3–4 large lemons

1 litre of very cold water

80–100 g of sugar (adjust to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into the water. Add the sugar and stir well – your fresh lemonade is ready!
2. Strain the drink through a sieve.
3. Pour the lemonade into the Slushi and select the FROZEN JUICE programme.
4. When the drink reaches the optimal frozen temperature, the unit will beep three times. Serve immediately.

Suggestion: Serve the lemon slush with a slice of lemon on the glass rim. Another trick I love for acidic drinks: rub a lemon slice around the glass rim and dip it in sugar. It creates that beautiful, sweet-sour edge that's both pretty and tasty. Then gently fill with the slush, keeping the sugared rim intact.

4) Lemon & Orange Slush

INGREDIENTS:

1L of sweetened lemonade (see previous recipe)

500 ml of strained orange juice

Optional: You can sweeten it further by adding 1–2 tablespoons of sugar to the orange juice and mixing until dissolved.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pour both juices into the Slushi container.
2. Select the SLUSH programme. Adjust temperature if desired.
3. When the drink reaches the optimal frozen temperature, the unit will beep three times. Serve immediately.

5) Iced Chocolate Milkshake

INGREDIENTS:

1 litre of whole milk

500 ml of double cream (min. 35% fat)

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (approx. 10 ml)

20 g of cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients until the sugar, chocolate syrup, and cocoa powder are fully dissolved and combined.
2. Pour the mixture into the Slushi Ninja and select the MILKSHAKE programme.
3. Once the drink reaches optimal frozen temperature, the machine will beep three times. Serve immediately. You'll win hearts by serving it in cups or glasses topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

SUGGESTION:

Before pouring, swirl chocolate syrup inside the glasses – it looks great and makes scooping up the last drop even more fun! On top, decorate with whipped cream, syrup, or go wild with dulce de leche, salted caramel, cinnamon, chocolate powder, a biscuit, colourful sprinkles, or chocolate buttons for the kids... Go all out and enjoy!

6) Low-Sugar Chocolate Milkshake Slush

Simply replace the sugar in the previous recipe with erythritol. You can also use allulose. And for the chocolate syrup, go for a reduced sugar version.

SUGGESTIONS:

You can replace the sugar with a couple of tablespoons of condensed milk – it adds sweetness and a delicious flavour.

For serving, garnish with strawberry syrup, salted caramel, chocolate sprinkles, a sponge finger or a piece of cake. Pure heaven!

70 g of white sugar

60 ml of black coffee* (either a long coffee or two espressos, depending on desired strength)

Whipped cream looks especially great on finer textures when serving.

1200 ml of piña colada mix

250 ml of coconut rum

NOTE: You can find piña colada mix in the cocktail section of most supermarkets. To make your own at home, mix: 750 ml of pineapple juice + 400 ml of coconut cream (not coconut milk, but cream, like “Coco López” or similar) + 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar.

2. Once the drink reaches optimal frozen temperature, the unit will beep three times. Serve immediately and decorate as desired.

I hope you’ve found some drinks in this Slushi recipe collection that you’re dying to try. Personally, I just hope they inspire you and mark the beginning of a special connection with your Ninja frozen drink maker. Because here’s something important you shouldn’t forget: with the Slushi, you can freeze almost any drink, as long as you keep the following in mind:

• The drinks must be completely liquid (for juices or smoothies, make sure they’re properly strained and have a fluid texture).
• They must contain at least 5 g of sugar per 100 ml (this is very low, but be careful with light or sweetener-only drinks).
• For alcoholic beverages (e.g., frozen cocktails using the Frozen Cocktail mode), all ingredients combined should contain between 2.8% and 16% alcohol.
