These Cherry Slushies are refreshing and make for a festive Canada day long weekend drink when the cherries are in season.

I like to make these Cherry Slushies every year, along with these other homemade drinks. Such as Healthy Raspberry Sweet Tea, Iced Raspberry Hibiscus tea or some Dandelion Iced tea.

This cherry slushies recipe was inspired by one of my favorite holidays “Canada Day ” so here is to you Canada.

Happy Birthday Canada!

I like to spoil my family and friends with these Cherry Slushies whenever they come over with these during the summer time.

Summer is right around the corner and that means fresh fruit! And though I love all the four seasons we have here in Canada, I truly love Summer most of all.

And that is because the food is just that much better since it’s all fresh and mostly local!

I truly believe we all play a part in aiding in that. So the more we can by local and organic foods the better the food will be for all of us for generations to come. Don’t you agree?

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY SLUSHIE

All you will need to make these healthy and fruity slushies are some fresh or frozen cherries, frozen concentrated cranberry juice, fresh mint leaves and sprite.

Just keep in mind you that if you are using frozen cherries then you will omit the ice cubes which will save yourself time on the pitting part.

But if you can get fresh cherries, why not use them.

DO CHERRY SLUSHIES HAVE CAFFEINE

Not these slushies, however if your making it with say a soda stream and that syrup then it might.

If you have one of those soda streams you can replace the sprite with one of those beverages too.

The mint gives it that something extra special, so be sure not to skip on it.

This Cherry Red Wine Slushy goes well paired with steak, chicken or pasta.

Cherries freeze well once they have been pitted.

So each summer I will freeze a bunch of cherries. And place them into freezer bags and store them in my freezer for year round enjoyment.

Who would not want wine slushies and smoothies year round?

Just say I 🙂

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY RED WINE SLUSHY

You’ll want to start with a bottle of your favorite RED WINE.
A bottle of Sprite or 7 UP
Lime
Vanilla extract
And some frozen cherries

Simply blend everything together then add some sprite and serve!

Easy peazy and so delicious!

Pair this with a nice steak dinner or lamb shank and your going to be in for a nice evening alone or with someone special.

IS CHERRY WINE SLUSHIES HEALTHY

Red Wine in moderation is healthy.

And well we all know cherries are packed full of fiber and antioxidants so that is a given.

Did you know that one cherry has 3 grams of fiber, which aids in digestion, lowers cholesterol, controls blood sugar and can help with weight loss.

Also cherries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, protein and iron so eating these often is a smart thing to do.

So why not pair them with some red wine too?

Red wine has flavonoids in it has proven to be heart healthy so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

The type of red wine you use is all about personal preference.

So please go ahead and experiment with your favorites for this one!
