What Can I Make With Kool-Aid?
I always have a few packets of Kool-Aid laying around. We don’t really fix it too much, since I prefer to give my family water and fruit juices. But it does come in handy when we have a crowd of thirsty kids around. I have been wondering though if there’s a way to use it for something other than making a big pitcher of a brightly colored thirst quencher.
Since it’s been getting pretty warm around here, cool and icy treats have been on my mind. Last week I made slushies for the first time and it turned out wonderful. I’ve had quite a few requests since to “Please make those again”.
They are fast and easy to make. You basically just blend some water, ice, a pack of kool-aid and some sugar in your blender for instant slushies.
Please feel free to share any other recipes you may have that use kool-aid.

Kool-Aid is a sneaky way to get your kids to drink other juices that they may not really care for. If you are trying cranberry juice or grapefruit juice in your house and it’s just too sour for your kids’ taste, mix in a little Kool-Aid. You’ll need to do a lot of tasting because it doesn’t all blend well, but you’ll find a little orange Kool-Aid mixed with cranberry juice is one of our favorites. If you buy the Kool-Aid without the sugar you can control the amount of sugar you end up with in your blend.
