r/ninjaslushi

made this for myself, hopefully of use to others as well

Living in a joint home thats alcohol free.

Looking for low maintenance drinks i can add that blend really well.

Also having issues with too much ice at lowest setting.

For example, Hawaiian punch. At setting 1, it has lots of ice and doesn't pour well. Do I need to find syurp to add?

Wondering if anybody has tried this before I try it myself.

If you make slush with the machine, can you drain the slush into a container and stick it in your freezer and have it stay slush due to the sugar/allulose content? Or will it end up freezing solid due to lack of movement?

I have made booze slush in the past by just putting fruit punch with alcohol in it in a container in the freezer and it stayed slushy due to the alcohol content. Lasted well over a week before I finished it.

But would it be the same with sugar or allulose?

My wife loves iced coffee but has some dietary restrictions, nonfat milk and no sugar. I really want to include her in my Slushi goodness so I gave this a try and it actually worked!

12oz brewed coffee 4oz nonfat milk 1.5 tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup 1 tbsp Allulose 1-2 tbsp vegetable glycerine

At first it slushed up perfectly with 1 tbsp vegetable glycerine, but didn’t dispense right, like there was ice buildup at the gate. I added about 1/2 tbsp more and a touch of water to help flush it through.

The end result was super-cold, not-quite a slush though. It had ice crystals though and she loved it. I’ll work with the settings to see if I can make a true slush out of it and first results were promising, but any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.. just want to start by saying before I got my slushi I spent a great deal of time watching tutorials on YouTube and lurking in slushi groups to make my self familiar with the machine. I read the instruction book several times and decided to follow the ninja recipe booklet to make a Diet Coke slushi, I added the exact amount of Diet Coke, erythritol and lemon juice but the machine just wouldn’t dispense because it looked as if it had frozen to the point where it won’t dispense. I tried and increasing and decreasing the temperature sliders but nothing changed.

Is there a fix for this? Just to reiterate, I followed ninja’s recipe to the letter. Could it be a defective machine?

🧊 Anyone fancy helping me test something?

I've been developing SlushMaster, an app for home slush machines that calculates sugar, alcohol/ABV, batch size and whether a recipe should actually freeze. It can also adjust/optimise recipes when they're not suitable.

I'm looking for a few slush-machine owners to test it and basically try to break it! 😁

📱 It's Android only at the moment — no iPhone version yet.

If you'd like to give it a go and send me some feedback, comment or message me. 🍹🧊

Apologies to admins if this is not allowed, please remove. Or give me a shout and I'll send you a copy of the app.

Many thanks

Hi,

I love my ninja slushi but despite dishwasher, soaking, etc., I can’t get the mold from the back of the vessel out. I haven’t heard back from support. I want to get a new one, and I was wondering if there are newer models that don’t have this issue or if there’s a known workaround? I got it early 2025 when it first came out and I’ve been looking on Costco.

Thanks

I know you can make your own, but I’d rather just buy it from Amazon. So what’s the best option for a neutral slush mix that I can then allow kids to put different flavors on it.

I saw some options that were nearly $100. I’m not gonna spend that much.

Thanks

Most of the time we are using a zero sugar alternative to cut the calories of the drinks we are making, so like 50:50 pop with something else. This often causes them to not dispense perfectly and the grates on the spout seem to limit flow. Has anyone removed one or all of these? They don’t really seem to be necessary to me .
