The other day I posted PF Chang’s Strawberry Cucumber Limeade recipe and have made it several times since that post {with a few adjustments}. Today I decided to take my boys to Monkey Joe’s to burn some energy. To avoid buying the expensive slush they offer there, I promised to take them to sonic to get them their favorite blueberry coconut slush {ewww…I absolutely hate coconut and anything flavored with it}. It was 1/2 priced drink time at Sonic and I’m the best-mom-EVER to treat them to their favorite drink. Hey, I can splurge on a 50 cent drink!
Since I was there and drinks were cheap, I treated myself to a Strawberry Limeade. I haven’t had one in a long time and I have had a hankerin’ for limeades…obviously. I figured I’d save myself a mess of making my own for a measly 90 cents.
Should have saved myself the 90 cents!
Over the last few months I have been trying to adjust our diet by reducing refined sugars and add more fruits and veggies. I guess it’s working because the drink was so sweet, I couldn’t finish it. It’s sitting right next to me and I’m trying to finish this post quickly so I can go make a REAL limeade!
The adjustments to PF Chang’s recipe are in bold:
2 whole strawberries
5 julienne pieces of cucumber
Smoosh them together to get some of the juices out.
1/2 of a fresh squeezed lime
3 packets of splenda
1 cup of water
4 ice cubes
Shake vigorously
Add more ice/water/lime to taste.
The only bummer is that this recipe only makes 1 serving.
Redneck glass mason jar optional!
I kinda LOVE sonic Cherry slushies. A lot. I really like going during happy hour when it is a $1 for a large. Mmm…. slushies.
Not fond of limes, but everything else sounds great!

My husband just told me they have diet cherry slushies, I might have to try that. I think the sugar was a bit to much for me. 🙁

When I lived in Arkansas, I went to Sonic almost every day for lunch. I am now in Upstate New York and get VERY jealous anytime someone says that they went to Sonic. Cherry limeade slush was my favorite drink. While other establishments have these slushies, I consider them imitators and drinking one makes me long for the original.
