# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It comes together in the time it takes to scroll through your phone and tastes like summer in a glass.
- The combination of real orange juice and vanilla ice cream creates this impossible creaminess that store bought slushies never achieve.
02 -
- If you blend too far in advance the mixture separates and gets watery, so only blend when you are ready to drink.
- The sweetness of your oranges determines everything, so taste your juice before adding sugar and adjust from there.
03 -
- Roll your oranges firmly on the counter before juicing to break down the membranes and get significantly more juice from each one.
- A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the orange flavor pop in a way that surprises people every single time.
