Takes Two to Mango

our favorite end of summer slushie treat

Welcome back to all you sweet, sexy and oh so funny subscribers out there across the internet. If your summer has been anything like ours, you’ve watched a parade of people you know going on some idyllic vacations in Hawaii or Italy while you sit at home in front of an oscillating fan. Listen, we’re happy with what we got but damnit it’s hard not to feel just a ping of jealousy. Everyone else’s lives always look so glamorous, so effortlessly cool and chic. We know most of them are faking it, the vacation, their wealth, and friends are all part of the hustle. But with 1 in 4 kids planning on becoming influencers, this trend of people adopting fake personalities and doing fake things for money isn’t going away any time soon. All of it sounds so exhausting yet we still find ourselves getting caught up in their web of aspirational posts and conspicuous consumption. We’re only human after all and the algorithm is a cruel mistress.

So this week, we’re keeping it simple, cool, and fighting off the green-eyed monster with a tropical trip in a glass. This recipe is a slushie we imagine drinking on some far-off beach with our abs glistening in the sun. Might as well have abs if we’re using our imaginations, right? But no matter where you sip, this slushie will calm your troubled soul and lighten your step. If you feel like getting extra loose, we’ve included an optional shot of rum to help you on your way. Now grab your blender and sunscreen, you’ve gotta slushie to make and a fan to sit in front of.

Mango Pineapple Slush Puppies

Makes 2 drinks

2 cups frozen mango chunks

2 cups ice

1 cup almond milk

1 cup pineapple juice

2 teaspoons chopped ginger

Juice from 1 lime

2 shot of your favorite rum, optional

Throw everything in the blender and run that shit until the drink looks smooth or your blender dies, whatever comes first. Serve right away with a little umbrella if you can.
