Sunrise Slushie

Author Notes

This creamy slushie hits the spot when you’re craving an icy treat. It’s a simple blend of juicy citrus and velvety smooth Planet Oat Barista Lovers Oatmilk; adding hibiscus tea, pineapple juice, and frozen mango turns what could be an everyday smoothie into a festive tropical drink.

Think of it as a cross between an orange slushie and a mango smoothie—just enough creaminess to feel indulgent but not heavy, equal parts sweet and tart.

Feel free to substitute your favorite fruits and juices—this recipe was made to be tweaked. Use agave or granulated sugar instead of honey. You can even stir in a shot of rum to make it a cocktail.

One note: Make the hibiscus tea beforehand so it has time to cool. Pour the peach-colored slushie into a clear glass and drizzle with the purple tea for a gorgeous sunrise effect, or play around and pour the tea in layers, adding the slushie in between.
