Meredith Youngson's 4-ingredient recipe for refreshing adult slushies, with watermelon, strawberry and goji berries.

- 1 cup frozen strawberries

Notes
Goji berries have impressive benefits ranging from anti-aging to immune support. They are packed with antioxidants, like free-radical-busting vitamin C, and, for such a tiny fruit, contain a generous amount of fibre and protein. Goji are most often purchased as whole dried berries, but you can also find them in powder format.
