5 Reasons Australians Are Choosing Zero Sugar Slushies
Love an icy-cold slushy but want to skip the sugar? There's now a delicious alternative that delivers familiar flavours and frozen refreshment without sugar.
Meet the Slush It Zero Range
Slushies have always been a favourite at parties, cinemas, cafés and on hot Australian afternoons. But traditional slushies usually rely on sugar for both sweetness and freezing performance.
Slush It Zero from Fun Foods Direct offers a different option: a specially formulated sugar-free slushy concentrate designed for use in compatible frozen-drink machines.
Here are five reasons it could be worth trying.
All the Slushy Fun, Without the Sugar
There's something about a frozen slushy that makes an ordinary drink feel like a treat. The icy texture, colourful appearance and refreshing flavours are all part of the experience.
Traditionally, many slushy concentrates contain significant amounts of sugar. Slush It Zero gives customers an alternative when they want a sugar-free frozen drink.
Traditional Slushy Mix
Generally uses sugar as a key ingredient for sweetness and freezing characteristics.
Slush It Zero
Specially formulated for sugar-free slushies without requiring added sugar during preparation.
You Don't Have to Give Up Your Favourite Flavours
Choosing sugar-free shouldn't mean settling for a boring drink.
Slush It Zero is available in familiar flavours, from classic Cola and Red Raspberry to colourful Blue Lemonade and Pink Bubblegum.
Whether you're stocking a home slushy machine or offering customers an alternative at your café or venue, there's a flavour to explore.
One Bottle Makes 10 Litres of Slushy Mix
Slush It Zero comes in a convenient 2-litre concentrate bottle.
Instead of purchasing a large quantity of ready-to-drink liquid, you simply dilute the concentrate with water.
The preparation ratio is straightforward: one part Slush It Zero concentrate to four parts water.
That makes it easy to prepare a small quantity for a home machine or a larger batch for a commercial frozen-drink machine.
Designed for Home and Commercial Slushy Machines
One challenge with homemade sugar-free frozen drinks is getting the consistency right.
Sugar influences how conventional slushy mixtures freeze, which means simply removing sugar from a traditional recipe may not produce the texture you're expecting.
Slush It Zero has been developed using our proprietary formula, specifically engineered to produce sugar-free frozen drinks in compatible home and commercial slushy machines.
At Home
Prepare frozen drinks for family gatherings, parties and everyday refreshment using a compatible home slushy machine, including the Ninja SLUSHi.
For Businesses
Add a sugar-free choice to cafés, food trucks, entertainment venues and events using compatible commercial slushy machines.
It's an Easy Way to Offer More Choice
Not everyone wants the same thing from their favourite frozen drink.
Some people enjoy traditional slushies. Others prefer a sugar-free alternative.
Having both options available means customers can choose the type of drink that suits their preferences.
For cafés, takeaway shops, food trucks and event operators, a sugar-free slushy can also be an additional menu option without requiring an entirely different type of beverage.

Everything you need to know about Slush It Zero, including how it freezes, machine compatibility and preparation.
Is Slush It Zero really sugar free?
Yes. Slush It Zero is formulated as a sugar-free slushy concentrate using our proprietary formula. It has been developed to provide a sugar-free alternative to traditional slushy mixes without requiring customers to add sugar during preparation. Refer to the product label for full ingredients and nutritional information.
How does Slush It Zero freeze without sugar?
Traditional slushy mixes rely on sugar to influence how the liquid freezes and forms its familiar icy texture. Simply removing sugar from an ordinary slushy recipe may cause the mixture to freeze differently.
Slush It Zero uses our specially developed proprietary formula, engineered to allow a sugar-free slushy mix to freeze and develop a slushy consistency without requiring added sugar. Our formulation has been developed specifically for frozen-drink applications, rather than simply removing sugar from a conventional syrup.
I've been told sugar-free slushy mixes don't work. Is that true?
Not all sugar-free drinks are suitable for slushy machines. Ordinary sugar-free cordials or drinks may not freeze to the correct consistency because sugar normally plays an important role in the freezing process.
Slush It Zero is different. Our proprietary formula has been specifically developed for sugar-free frozen drinks. It is designed to produce a slushy consistency in compatible machines when prepared and operated according to the recommended instructions.
Does Slush It Zero work in the Ninja SLUSHi machine?
Yes. Slush It Zero works in the Ninja SLUSHi machine. Our sugar-free slushy mix has been specially formulated to freeze in compatible at-home and commercial slushy machines, including the Ninja SLUSHi.
We have tested our sugar-free formulation in multiple slushy machines, including home and commercial machines. Always follow the recommended mixing ratio and the operating instructions for your particular machine model.
Can I use Slush It Zero in a commercial slushy machine?
Yes. Slush It Zero has been formulated and developed for use in compatible commercial slushy machines. It provides cafés, takeaway shops, food trucks, entertainment venues and other businesses with a sugar-free frozen-drink option.
Prepare the concentrate according to the recommended dilution ratio and follow your commercial machine's operating and freezing instructions. Freezing times and settings can vary between machine models.
Does Slush It Zero work in home slushy machines?
Yes. Our formula has been developed for compatible home slushy machines as well as commercial machines. This includes the Ninja SLUSHi and other suitable frozen-drink machines.
Because different home machines have different operating requirements, always follow the instructions for your particular model.
How much slushy mix does one 2L bottle make?
One 2L bottle of Slush It Zero makes 10 litres of prepared slushy mix when combined with 8 litres of water.
The mixing ratio is one part concentrate to four parts water. This allows you to prepare smaller quantities or the full bottle depending on your machine's capacity.
What is the correct mixing ratio for Slush It Zero?
The recommended mixing ratio is 1 part Slush It Zero concentrate to 4 parts water.
For example, combine 200ml of concentrate with 800ml of water to make 1 litre of prepared mix, or combine the full 2L bottle with 8L of water to make 10L.
Always mix thoroughly before adding the prepared liquid to your machine.
Do I need to add sugar for the mix to freeze?
No. You do not need to add sugar. Slush It Zero has been specifically formulated to freeze without requiring added sugar.
Simply dilute the concentrate with water according to the instructions. Adding sugar or changing the mixing ratio is not necessary and may affect the intended result.
Will Slush It Zero have the same consistency as a regular slushy?
Slush It Zero has been developed to produce the familiar icy, semi-frozen consistency associated with slushy drinks.
The final texture can vary depending on the machine, freezing settings, preparation ratio and operating conditions. For best results, use a compatible machine and follow the recommended preparation instructions.
How long does Slush It Zero take to freeze?
Freezing time depends on the type of machine, the amount of liquid being prepared, the starting temperature of the mixture and the machine's operating settings.
Home slushy machines and commercial machines may have different freezing cycles, a commerical machine normally takes 15-30 minutes. Follow the instructions supplied with your machine and allow the mixture to reach the desired slushy consistency.
Can I make smaller batches instead of using the full bottle?
Yes. You can prepare smaller quantities as long as you maintain the correct mixing ratio of one part concentrate to four parts water.
For example, 500ml of concentrate mixed with 2 litres of water produces 2.5 litres of prepared slushy mix.
Make sure the amount you prepare is suitable for your machine's minimum and maximum fill requirements.
Can I use Slush It Zero for parties, cafés and events?
Yes. Slush It Zero is suitable for preparing sugar-free frozen drinks for home entertaining and commercial applications using compatible machines.
It can be an additional option for parties, cafés, takeaway shops, food trucks, entertainment venues and event operators wanting to offer customers a sugar-free slushy.
Why isn't my sugar-free slushy freezing correctly?
Slush It Zero has been specially developed using our proprietary formula to achieve a slushy consistency without added sugar. As different slushy machines have varying operating requirements, we recommend checking your machine’s compatibility before use. Some manufacturers do not provide specific settings or guidance for sugar-free slushy mixes.
What makes Slush It Zero different from ordinary sugar-free cordial?
Ordinary sugar-free cordials are generally designed to be diluted and consumed as drinks, rather than specifically formulated for frozen-drink machines.
Slush It Zero has been developed as a dedicated sugar-free slushy concentrate. Its proprietary formulation is designed to support the freezing characteristics needed to create a slushy-style frozen drink in compatible machines.
