Banana Crush Slush recipe

Today I’ll be sharing with you this refreshing recipe, banana crush slush!  My MIL would make this banana crush slush for my husband on special occasions growing up and it’s become our family favorite.  This recipe has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.

You know those recipes your mom made for while growing up and you get married and you’re like, “Hey, my mom used to make this recipe, it’s really good and I miss it, I need to ask my mom for the recipe!” and you incorporate the recipe into your family dinners?  This is one of them for my husband.  He said his mom would only make this drink on special occasions and him and his siblings would scream in excitement(he was like 18, just kidding, he was a little boy).  I think foods our moms and dads used to make for us growing up tastes even better because we have a sentimental attachment to it and is associated with memories of our childhood and feelings of nostalgia.  So sometimes when he says the above and gets the recipe from his mom and I make it for our family, I taste it and I think, yeah, it’s not that good, but he loves it because it brings back memories for him.  Well, this recipe is different, I really do like this one!

You can use frozen concentrated pineapple and orange juice as well.  And fresh lemons.  But who’s got time to squeeze out 1/2 c. of fresh lemon juice?  I ain’t got time for that!  I got all these ingredients from Wal Mart.

Combine sugar and water in big pot and hear until dissolved, turn off hear and add the remaining ingredients.  Put in at least 2 containers to freeze over night or for 24 hours.

When ready to serve, crush, and put it in cups

pour 7UP® until it fills up the glass.
