Banana Slush is an old family favorite. My grandmother, Colleen Mott used to make it a lot during summer months, or for parties and celebrations. My mom and dad served it at their wedding reception!

My kids love it, and I have continued to make it over the years.

Start by making the sugar syrup to give it time to cool.

Make sure your bananas are nice and ripe and they will be very easy to mash up.

Dump in the juice concentrates and mix it altogether.

Add in 6 cans of water, the lemon juice and cooled syrup and mix it all up!

Scoop into ziplock bags and freeze flat.

When you are ready to serve just grab a bag out of the freezer, scoop some into a cup and add some lemon lime soda.

ENJOY!!!
