I made blueberry syrup last night and this morning I made blueberry cream frapps! Oooh, so yummy! I had some blueberries that needed to be used up quickly so seeing your link to your recipe yesterday was just perfect!

For the strawberry lemonade slushies- if you like a less watery and richer flavor slushy, don’t add the water. I fill the blender 3/4 full with frozen sliced strawberries and about 1/4 full of lemonade. We used to add ice, but we like them better not watered down.
They are also incredibly tasty using a triple berry blend (blueberries, strawberries and black berries), along with the strawberries.
Lastly, if you have any left over slushy, throw it into a popsicle mold, they are scrumptious!
I love your notebooks each week, you’ve given me so many great ideas!
