Real Food Live | Wine Slushies

Alright, are we ready to go guys? Yes, let's do it. So the first slushy I'm going to show you how to make is layered and beautiful. It has two layers

The first layer has white wine. This is our white wine slushy

So once again, if you don't drink wine or you don't drink alcohol, totally fine. A grape juice would work really well. You could like cold press apple juice. You could cold press any of your own juices or buy good quality organic juice

juices to use instead, or you could just use a little bit of juice and a little bit of water

But I'm going to put in some white wine here. A little bit more

And this is a pinot grigio, by the way, but you know, any of your favorite white wine

will work well. Something a bit more on the sweet side will work really well

And whenever I'm blending things that are frozen and chunky, I always like to add my liquid

first. Definitely makes it blend better. And to this I'm going to add frozen peaches. So these

are going to go in. Dun-da-da-da-da-da-done. Do we have any questions? I think we do

Yep, we have one question from Julie who says, what kind or does kind of wine matter? Which are you

using? Great question Julie. So this one that I'm using now, the white wine is a pinot grigio. I just really

like pino grigios and so that's why I'm using this one. It doesn't really matter

If you don't like things that are super sweet, maybe lean towards more of a dry wine

However, if you like things that are more on the sweet side, then something a little bit on the sweeter side would work well

So really it's just personal preference. And also you could just do whatever you have in your cupboard works well too

If you have like half a bottle of wine left over, you could do that

All right, so I'm going to blend this together now. I feel

I feel like this needs more fruit because I added a lot of wine

I guess I was getting really excited. So I'll be right back. I'm just going to get some more fruit

Hold on. Here I come. See, this is the beauty of doing a live show

You can just be like, I'm just gonna go grab something and I'll be right back

Any questions? Yes. We have one question from Neira who asks, are fruits fresh or from a can

Are fruits fresh or from a can? These fruits are neither. They're frozen

So when you're making this type of thing, you can use. fresh fruit for sure if you have fresh seasonal fruit and we're starting to move

into summertime so more and more there'll be lots of juicy ripe fresh fruit

that would work perfectly for this then I would say to turn it into a slushy

just add some ice if you're using fresh fruit I don't like using canned fruit

because there's usually sugars and syrups added to canned fruit so I would say

step away from the canned fruit go for fresh and add ice or just go for frozen and then you don have to add ice So I going to give this another blend Beautiful

That's the slushy check texture I'm looking for. So this is layer one of our slushy

I'm going to place these glasses down here and I'm going to pour it so you can see what this looks

like, all right? Layer one, slushy beautifulness

Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Okay, so simple, I mean, that was two ingredients, so really simple

And now I'm going to give my blender a quick rinse because I'm going to show you layer two

now. Okay. So these are like, you know bellini's, peach bellini's? This kind of

reminds me of a peach bellini because you're going to have two beautiful layers and oh it's going to be beautiful. Layer two. Grab your wine once again this is a pinogrigio

but use whatever you have on hand or whatever you like. I'm going to pour that in there

and add your strawberries. So I'm using strawberries but I think something

Anything red would work nicely. So raspberries would work nicely. Cherries would work really well

Any berries would look beautiful. But today we're doing strawberries. All right, here we go

Okay, let's slow. Okay. Okay, so

So, oh, la, are you ready to see the layers? Strawberry, white wine, here we go. Beautiful

Kind of fizzy, effervescent, gorgeous. It also happens to smell really, really nice

Pop the straws in just like that. I like to give it a little bit of a mix

Let the colors just kind of bleed into each other. I mean, that's pretty fun, right

Yes, totally. Okay. Now I'm going to rinse this out again and show you how to make wine flushesher

number two. Okay, guys, thumbs up if you like these slushies because they just look amazing

Okay, wine slushy number two, just as simple, just as easy. I'm going to take some orange juice and I'm going to pour it into my blender

So once again, I like doing liquid first. I find that it really helps frozen fruit to blend really well

And I'm using a Cabernet Sauvignon for this one, but you can use any red wine that you

have on hand or your favorite red wine whatever you like So I going to add a little bit of red wine and a little bit more because we have a lot of berries to blend Any questions I think we have another question Yep

Roger wants to know what was in the first layer? Of this one, the orange layer

The first layer was peach, frozen peach slices and white wine and I used a pinot

grigio. Thanks for a question, Roger. But I was saying you could use anything, any, like

Like mango would work really well too. So this next one is our sangria slushy

So I just added frozen mixed berries. These ones happen to have blackberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries

You know you can buy those packages of frozen mixed berries. And I love them and I love frozen cherries

They happen to be my favorite. So I'm using those. I think for the sangria one because we're using a red wine, try to go for darker colored

berry colored fruit, whatever you're using, like plums would work really well

I don't know, you can get really creative. And I'm mixing this just with orange juice and red wine

And the red wine that I'm using is a cabernet so vignal. But like I said before, whatever you have on hand works, the frozen berries will give it

that slushy like texture and we're going to blend. Oh, gorgeous

I just can't help how much fun I'm having with these slushies

Okay, Sangria slushy. Look at that dark, dark berry color. So pretty

And let's not forget about the antioxidant content. There is virotrol, which is an antioxidant found in red wine

And the antioxidants, like the anthocyanins and all the other amazing antioxidants found in pigmented berries

Put that there. And last but not least, the straws. Gotta have the straws for the final finish

Oh, yes, another question. Orrin wants to know, do I need a special blender for this

No, I don't think you do. So this one's like, you know, they're the standing up blenders like this and then they're

the ones that you flip over like the magic bullets or the neutral bullets

I've never made this with the magic bullets or neutral bullets, but I think it should work totally fine in those ones

So I would say any blender should work really well. Just make sure it's big enough to handle this amount of

of ingredients and you should be totally fine. Don't use a hand blender, that won't work

Like you know those immersion blenders, that wouldn't work. You could maybe even do this in a food processor

If you don't have a blender, just make sure you don't add too much liquid because then it'll go over the edges

But yeah, any blender should work really well for this. Any other questions as we're going

Not so far. Not so far. Guys, are you enjoying this? I mean, I don't know

Summertime's here and all of the recipes I leaning towards right now are chilled cold beautiful brightly color recipes that incorporate fruits and fresh things And so this is just so lovely

I'm going to try the sangria one. Do you see how thick this is? It's like the perfect slushy texture, which makes me so happy

Oh my god. It tastes exactly like sangria. You know it would be really good as I sip on this now

I feel like if you topped it off with the little. little splash of sparkling water and it gave it a little fizzy action

Mmm, the berries, the orange juice. You don't even taste the red wine which is actually a little dangerous

You don't taste it at all. It just tastes like delicious, fruity refreshingness

And now for this one, which I just love, don't you just love the layers of colors

Oh my gosh, that's so good. You know what I taste the most with that one is the peach

That really, I think I need to call that a peach bellini. It totally tastes like a peach bellini with a hint of strawberry and then the white wine

just is like a little under note, but they're chilled and they're really refreshing

so good. Any other questions guys or comments, type them into the box so we can chat before we end this

one, yeah? Julie says so beautiful, I'm going to make these to sit by the pool this summer for sure

Julie, can I come over to your pool and can we sit together

Because that's exactly what I want to all bring the slushies, you provide the pool

That's what you need to do when you drink these. Yeah. And then Ken Lee says, what are the measurements for what you used

So the measurement, we will be posting a link to the recipe shortly so check back soon and we'll have a link to the recipe here

But it's half a cup of the, for the Bellini ones, it's half a cup

ones, it's half a cup of frozen peaches and half a cup of strawberries mixed with half

a cup of wine for each one. So in total you'll need one cup of white wine and then a half a cup of peaches and half

a cup of strawberries. And then for the sangria, it's one cup of frozen mixed berries and then I don't know

For the wine, we'll give you the exact measurement. I eyeballed it right now

You just kind of pour it on top so it's not too much. You don't want it to be too thin

You want it to be nice and thick. So it's probably about three quarters of a cup of red wine and then a splash of orange juice

That's it. Any other questions? All I want to do is drink these because they're so good

Okay guys, thank you so much for watching. I hope you love these recipes

We're going to be posting a link to the recipe shortly so don't forget to check back here

on the Hardy Soul. And let's all do what Julie's going to do and find a pool and drink our..

amazing slushy wine slushies. As I mentioned, you can do it with or without the wine

That's totally up to you, but they're quick and easy and have a great day

Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys next week. Take care. Bye
