Ingredients You Will Need
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this tasty Ninja Slushi Frosty:
- 1 cup of milk (any kind you prefer: whole, skim, or almond milk) – Milk is the base that gives the frosty its creamy texture.
- 2 cups of ice (or as needed, depending on your desired consistency) – Ice helps create that thick, slushy texture that makes this frosty so refreshing.
- 1/2 cup of sugar (or sweetener of your choice) – This adds the right amount of sweetness. You can adjust the sugar to your liking.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract – The vanilla adds a lovely depth of flavor that balances the sweetness.
- Optional: 1/4 cup of flavored syrup or fruit puree – This is a fun way to add extra flavor. You can go for classic flavors like strawberry, chocolate, or something more adventurous like mango!
Substitutions & Variations
You can easily switch up the ingredients based on what you have or your taste preferences:
- For a lower-sugar version: Swap out sugar for honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like Stevia or monk fruit.
- Flavored syrups: You can use fruit purees (like strawberry, raspberry, or peach) or even chocolate or caramel syrups to make unique frosty flavors.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost, or toss in some berries for a fruitier version of this frosty.
Kitchen Appliances Needed
To make this frosty, you will need the following appliances:
- Ninja Slushi Machine: This is the star of the show. It’s designed to make frozen drinks like this one perfectly, with adjustable temperature settings.
- Blender (if not using Ninja Slushi): In case you don’t have the Ninja Slushi machine, a regular blender can work, but the texture might not be as smooth.
- Measuring cups and spoons: For accurately measuring your ingredients.
How to Make Ninja Slushi Frosty (Step-by-Step Instructions)
Now, let me walk you through how to make the Ninja Slushi Frosty:
Step 1 | Set up your Ninja Slushi machine
Before you begin, make sure your Ninja Slushi is properly set up. Ensure the vessel is installed correctly, and the unit is on a flat surface. Plug it in, and get ready to make your frosty.
Step 2 | Add the ingredients
Start by pouring 1 cup of milk into the vessel. Next, add the sugar and vanilla extract. If you’re adding any flavorings, this is the time to pour in your fruit puree or flavored syrup.
Step 3 | Add ice
Slowly add your ice into the vessel. Make sure not to overload it. You can add up to 2 cups of ice, but adjust based on your desired consistency.
Step 4 | Start the machine
Close the lid and press the power button on the Ninja Slushi. Choose the Slushi preset to get the perfect frozen drink. It will automatically start freezing your mixture to the optimal texture.
Step 5 | Adjust the temperature if needed
If you like your frosty a bit thicker, you can increase the temperature. If you prefer a more sippable consistency, decrease the temperature by pressing the arrow button.
Step 6 | Wait for the magic to happen
The Ninja Slushi will take between 15–60 minutes to reach the ideal texture, depending on the ingredients. The machine will beep once it’s ready!
Step 7 | Dispense and enjoy
Once your frosty is ready, place a cup under the handle and slowly pull it to dispense your frosty into the glass. Serve and enjoy right away.
Tips for Making the Perfect Ninja Slushi Frosty
- Don’t rush: Be patient with the freezing process. If you’re not happy with the texture, adjust the temperature a little higher or lower.
- Use pre-chilled ingredients: If you want a sweeter taste, use pre-chilled milk or syrup. It can help bring out the flavor once frozen.
- Mix flavors: Don’t hesitate to combine different flavors of syrups or fruit purees to create something unique and delicious.
- Consistency matters: For a thicker frosty, add more ice, and for a smoother, more drinkable frosty, use less ice.
What to Serve with Ninja Slushi Frosty
Pairing this frosty with a snack or meal can make it even more special. Here are some ideas:
- Tacos or nachos: The sweetness of the frosty pairs well with savory foods like tacos or cheesy nachos.
- Fruit salads: Fresh fruit like strawberries, mangoes, or watermelon complement the frosty’s creamy texture.
- Light sandwiches: A fresh veggie sandwich or turkey wrap makes for a nice contrast with the frosty.
I love enjoying this frosty with a fresh salad or a light appetizer. It’s the perfect way to cool down while eating something light and refreshing.
Proper Storage
If you have any leftover Ninja Slushi Frosty, here’s how you can store it properly:
In the fridge: Store any leftover frosty in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 24 hours, but the texture might change, so you may need to re-chill it in the Ninja Slushi.
Freezing: If you want to keep it for a longer time, you can freeze the frosty mixture in a container. However, note that it might become too solid, and you’ll need to re-slush it again for a better texture.

Absolutely! The Ninja Slushi can hold up to 64 oz of liquid, so you can easily double or triple the ingredients to make a bigger batch for a group.
