It is Spring Break for us this week, and in honor of all my memories of going to the beach as a child and teenager, I will be posting some recipes that remind me of my beach outings.

After a few hours at the beach, one of my favorite treats to get was a Slurpee at the 7-11. The particular beachside 7-11 that where we would stop does not have a gas station. It is simply a convenience store, and I am convinced that they stay in business strictly because of beach-goers and their sunny day needs. Here is my slurpee recipe that is a much healthier option than the one that flows from the slurpee machine.

• 2 Cups Seltzer
• 1/3 cup 100% juice concentrate (I used Old Orchard blueberry pomegranate)
• 1/8 cup honey
• 2 1/2 cups ice

Place seltzer, concentrate, and honey in blender. Pulse intermittently until blended because the carbonation from the seltzer can cause an overflow 🙂 Add ice and blend until slushy. Serve immediately. Serves about 3-4.
