Mango Pineapple Slushie

The kids are going back to school.  They are.  I love them. I adore them. I’m really ready for them to be back in school. I have almost zero time to myself for the whole summer, and while that has it’s ups, it also takes its toll on me. I’m ready to do a few things to treat myself- like get a pedicure, maybe get some highlights in my apparently-naturally-dark-brown-hair and pick up a few things to treat myself at Target. This mango pineapple slushie will be just the thing I indulge in after I make some time to head to my local store and pick up a few boxes of Fruttare treats. I’ll use a few for a fab fruity slushie for me and save the rest for the family…Thanks to Lunchbox for sponsoring today’s Mango Pineapple Slushie recipe.

    I love combining fruit juices – the combinations if the fruit juices can be quite tasty. I’m going to have to try this Mango Pineapple Slushie. It looks like it would be a great fruit juice combo – and making it into a slushie makes it that much better. Thanks for the recipe.

    This looks yummy! Using the Fruittare ice bars in these slushies makes it easy. This is something the kids would love.

  4. Debbie Welchert says

    I love Mango and I love this recipe. It’s so simple and few ingredients and I really like that.

  7. Uplifting Families says

    This sounds delicious. I am not sure I would like mango but I am sure they have other flavors of the fruit bars that I could use. I’ll have to check next time I go to Walmart.

    Over the last few days my husband has been making smoothies and blended fruit drinks! I will have to lay this recipe out for him! I love mango/pineapple drinks!

  21. Angela Weight says

    I just got a new blender and have had a ball making smoothies. Haven’t even thought about slushies until reading this yummy recipe. Love anything with pineapple. This is a must-try.

  22. Jeanette says

    I am totally going to do this! How yummy! I will be treating myself after working all day! Refreshing and a cool treat, which is important where I live!

  24. Robin (Masshole Mommy) says

    I love drinking slushies when it’s hot outside! Mango and pineapple sound tasty together.

  25. Alli says

    My kids are all grown so I can’t use the excuse of them going back to school to treat myself to your mango pineapple slushie. Dang. But I do need a break from work. It looks scrumptious!

  27. jo says

    Does that frutarre contain any dairy? This slushie looks so refreshing! I would love to take a sip from my laptop. LOL!
