Citrus Slushie

I love slushies because they’re cold and refreshing, and they’re also a great way to cool down when you’re really hot. But let’s face it, they’re just not very nutritious, and I always hate it when all the flavoring is sucked out with my straw and I’m left with a bunch of flavorless ice. Yuck!
