Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen Peach Slices: Fresh peaches can be sliced and frozen ahead of time. If you’re in a pinch, canned peaches can work too, but drain them well to avoid extra liquid.
Lemonade: Freshly squeezed lemonade gives the best flavor. You can use store-bought if you’re short on time. Adjust the sweetness based on your taste—some store-bought varieties are quite sugary.
Sweetener: Honey and sugar are both great options. If you’re looking for a healthier choice, try agave syrup or maple syrup. Adjust the amount to your liking, especially if you prefer a tangier slushie.
How Do I Achieve the Perfect Slushy Consistency?
The key to a great slushie is blending it just right! Here are some tips to ensure smooth blending:
- Start with frozen peach slices for that thick, icy texture.
- Add lemonade gradually. If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides.
- Since you can always add, it’s better to start with less liquid. You can always add more for blending.
- If you want an extra slushy experience, toss in some ice cubes and blend again!
Enjoy your refreshing drink on a hot day or as a fun treat any time! 🍑

FAQ for Easy Frozen Peach Lemonade Slushie
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Frozen?
Yes, you can! If using fresh peaches, make sure to slice and freeze them beforehand for a slushy texture. Alternatively, you can blend fresh peaches with ice to achieve a similar effect, but the consistency may vary.
What If I Don’t Have Lemonade?
No problem! You can make your own lemonade by mixing freshly squeezed lemon juice with water and a sweetener of your choice. For a quick version, just combine equal parts lemon juice and water, then sweeten to taste.
How Should I Store Leftover Slushie?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Keep in mind that the slushie may become icy and hard. You can re-blend it with a splash of lemonade or water to restore its slushy texture.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
While this slushie is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the peach slices in advance and freeze them. Just blend everything together when you’re ready to serve for a quick and refreshing drink!
