If you have fond memories of guzzling down a sugary-sweet slushy as a young kid, then I’ve got some fabulous news: I created a refreshing version made with only good-for-you ingredients that contains absolutely no added sugar.

All the sweetness comes from the frozen cherries, pineapple, and LaCroix® Sparkling Water. So instead of excess sugar and colorings, you’ll get a dose of fiber, antioxidants, and natural sweetness. This delicious way to hydrate is a cinch to make and totally kid- and adult-approved. Sip sip, hooray!
