This refreshing and tangy whipped frozen limeade will transport you back in time with its nostalgic lemon-lime slushie flavor. But this time, it's made with real lime juice and a homemade lime syrup, offering a much healthier alternative. The addition of just a touch of dairy creates a creamy texture reminiscent of vanilla soft serve mixed with the cool and tangy iced slush. For a tropical twist, coconut milk creamer can be used in place of dairy.
