Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for sugar-free slushies, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
Frozen Berries – Use a mixed berry blend, or choose a single type of frozen, low sugar berries. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are all great keto fruits for a slushie.Club Soda – Gives this slushie a smooth and airy consistency that’s easy to sip. Any kind of plain sparkling water will work here, as long as it’s sugar free.Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This sweetener dissolves smoothly into cold drinks, so your sugar-free slushie is never gritty! Other granulated or powdered sweeteners are not recommended, as they won’t dissolve completely. You could also use keto simple syrup, but the consistency would be a bit thinner.

Variations
Swap the fruit – Although the berries below have lower sugar compared to many keto fruits, you can swap in any frozen fruit that fits your lifestyle or keto macros — peach, pineapple, mango, or watermelon would be delicious choices if you can spare a few extra carbs.Add herbs – Mint is a classic addition, but other combinations (such as basil or rosemary with frozen strawberries) would be refreshing as well.Mix up the flavors – Add spices like cinnamon, vanilla, or ginger to make flavors in this keto friendly slushie pop!Add tang – A splash of lime or lemon juice (or citrus zest) can help bring out the sweetness in the fruit.
Storage Instructions
This sugar free icee tastes best when served right away, so refrigerating or freezing is not recommended. You might be able to keep it in the freezer for 10-20 minutes to keep it cold, but anything longer than that will change the consistency.
