Now that the heat of summer has set in, I find myself craving something light and vibrant in flavor, but also cooling and thirst-quenching. But far from the convenience-store favorite, this kombucha slushie is full of goodness: probiotics, and antioxidants with just the tiniest touch of honey for a little sweetness.
You can use your own homemade kombucha, or pick up a bottle at the store, but the real trick here is to use frozen cranberries to give the slushie not only its wonderful iciness but also its brilliant color and lovely tart-sweet flavor.

This looks delicious. I love using kombucha in different creative recipes. This is definitely one of them! Can't wait to try this at home. I haven't had a good slushie / smoothie in a long time!

Jenny,
I just wanted to thank you for NOT providing calorie counts or anything similar with your recipes. This may have nothing to do with it, but i hate our calorie- obsessed culture, and i really appreciate finding people who are working against that (consciously or not). Thank you for continuing to put out delicious whole foods recipes that my family loves pretty much every time. 🙂

Thanks so much for posting this unique recipe! I love cranberries and always have a hard time finding quality berries out of season. I will be sure to try Cape Cod Select!
Linda says
This looks heavenly. I'm so happy to now find frozen cranberries. I typically freeze many bags when they're available for the holidays and ran out this year!

Jenny thank you so much for sharing all your information. I look forward to every email. I met you at a Weston A. Price conference in Dallas a few years ago & was even more impressed with you & your intention to help us all eat real food & how to prepare it deliciously. You gave me lots of great color recipe cards I love & I was so excited when your first book came out & just received your new one. They are my go to cookbooks & I have over 400 cookbooks! I never cared about the stats of the food since it is real food. I can't Imagine how much time & work is involved to provide this site & great photography & want you to know how much a lot of us appreciate it!

Hi, how can I stop receiving your emails? Although I have never written a comment to one of your posts, I find your responses to sone comments more than a little abrasive (see above response to perfectly nice calorie count question as a great example). I don't want to get your emails anymore. Don't readily see an unsubscribe.... Thanks.

This slushy sounds wonderfully refreshing. It gets pretty hot here, and I often find myself craving something icy in mid-afternoon, so this would be perfect.

Hi Jenny,
If I am not mistaken the cranberries you use are not organic. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that....
Thanks!

Hi, Jenny
Is there any way that I could get a calorie count on some of your recipes. I love what you are doing and hope you keep up the good fight for health and nutrition. I am on a calorie count the get rid of candida over growth and weight loss. I am doing my own calculating but at times am in a hurry and skip recipes if I have to spend a lot of time with pencil and paper.
Thank you so much
