Alpha Gal Friendly Apple-Mint Slushy
Fresh, cold, and almost electric green, this blended drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Cold-pressed apple juice brings a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the bright, herbal punch of fresh mint, and a touch of honey rounds everything out without overpowering either flavor. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden mammalian byproducts sneaking into your glass. The straining step is a small but smart move — it pulls out all the mint's flavor and color while keeping the texture silky smooth before the ice goes in. Two minutes of blending and you've got something that looks and tastes like it came from a juice bar. Garnish with a few thin apple slices and a sprig of mint if you want to make it feel a little fancy, or just pour and drink it straight from the blender cup — no judgment here.
