• 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup blue raspberry syrup adjust for sweetness

4. Pause the blender and check the texture; it should be icy and smooth with a bright color. If needed, add more crushed ice and blend briefly to thicken further.
5. Pour the slushie into glasses, using a spoon or scoop to serve, ensuring a generous mound of icy goodness on top.
6. Optionally, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a colorful straw for a playful, attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the chilled, candy-inspired flavor!
