Crystal Light Slurpees!

Ok..........maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but when I tried one it was so incredibly strong flavored and disgusting, I had to spit out the sip I had taken and throw it away.  Maybe it was just a bad batch since you all seem to like it so much.  For a while, my local 7-11 had diet pepsi slurpees that were sweetened with Splenda, those were really great, but they didn't last long at that store.  Oh well, I guess I'll just stick to my occasional Starbuck's splurge.

See. now I couldn't do it because our 7-11's are typically so filthy, buying a drink off of a tap is just disgusting. If I saw the same thing coming out of a clean store - I probably would be sold - if I could get past the nutritional information.

hey beth, here's a thought. ok so it's NOT a slurpie or anything BUT, it's a close second AND it's good for you too

i take a 24 oz. bottle of water each day and i drink about 3-4 ounces out of the top of it to make room. then i put in one strawberry-kiwi flavored special k2o protein mix packet, one strawberry flavored crystal light packet and then two pink lemonade flavored all bran mix packets. then i freeze it for a couple of hours (not solid though), take it out, shake it up REALLY good and viola! a sweet/tart slushy that gets me "going" AND gets my water in for the day. when i mix it up this way then it equals 30 grams of carbs, 25 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein and only 70 calories in a 24 ounce drink. (<--but you can tweak it however you need to of course, lols.)

Gets you "going." 

yup! easy peasy one-two-threesy

Shut up?!? I've been craving a slurpie since my surgery and now I totally going to go get me one of those!  Thanks so much for the tip.

hmmmmmmm..........needs more cow bell......I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!!!!

So easy....go to Target, Walmart, K-mart and buy a Slushie Express for $19.99. I use SF Torani syrup, Crystal Lite, Kool Aid etc and have them every day...some times 2 or 3 when it is 100º out there! Gena

Thanks,,,i've been looking for a cool drink without the cals...7-11 here i come!! Michelle

Thats why I bought the Hamilton Beach Icy Treats machine(thanks Shari for the suggestion). I'm totally addicted to Crystal Light slushies and can't LIVE without 1 or 2 a day.
