Chill Factor Colour Blast Slush Maker is part of the new brightly coloured range of slushy maker cups. These cups believe it or not are designed to turn a cup of juice (and various other drinks) into a cup full of slush. I have to admit, this is not something that appeals to me, but my 6yr old daughter Miss M is an avid slush drinker, having them at every café that serves them, on every school lunch I let her have, and as a treat at the local leisure centre after her swimming lessons.
We received the red Chill Factor Slush Cup which looks modern and bright and had an eager Miss M desperate to try. The cup requires approximately 6-8 hours time in the freezer before use, overnight is ideal, after which time it is ready to produce slushy drink.
It is also recommended to chill your drink beforehand, although we’ve found it does work with a freshly made drink. We do aim though to put a cup of Miss M’s favourite Summer Fruit squash in the fridge at least an hour before we are ready to make up the slush.
When the Chill Factor Slush Cup is ready, it’s action time!! Bring the frozen cup out of the fridge, pour in a cold drink. Leave for 30 seconds, then squeeze up and down the cup for a minute or so and the cup converts the drink into an icy slush. I found this really simple to do and required little effort, the slush just simply emerged from the cold sides of the cup as you squeeze – we are very impressed at the results! Also due to there being an outer flexible casing to the cup, it is not at all cold to touch.
Miss M has absolutely adored having a homemade slush drink and has enjoyed one everyday since we received the slush maker. She is an absolute slushy addict and I’m really surprised how much these have appealed to her. I was worried the flavours may let her down compared to shop bought slush, but no, she just craves one of these every night after school and doesn’t forget, so we always ensure we put the cup in the freezer once it has been washed. 
The slushy cup has been a total hit with Miss M, in fact so much more than I originally thought. Firstly, it fulfils the demands of a slushy style drink, secondly it is easy to use, requires little effort and produces slush in minutes. I guess having a slush loving child helps and Miss M is seriously into her slush!! A big hit with young children and perfect for the summer months!!
Miss M also wanted to give the slush a try with some chocolate milk which we had in the fridge, the suggestion on the box was to add any milky drink to the frozen cup, then refreeze for a further 3-4 minutes before squeezing to make a slush. This worked perfecty for our chocolate milk and Miss M loved it.
We would definitely recommend the Chill Factor Colour Blast Slushy Maker for anyone that wants an icy drink. We have already got value for money from ours and I envisage many more slushy drinks being made.
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write the review.
You show so clearly how it works, it’s really impressive. I think my boys would love this, I’ll certainly be pointing them out – they both have birthday money to spend! Great that you can make icy milk drinks too – I want one myself 😀
This looks really good. It’s on 6yo’s birthday list
This looks great. My son is often asking for slushies but we don’t have a way to make them properly. He would love one of these!
I quite like the idea of these, not a texture Monkey has really tried, would be interested to see his reaction.

I can’t believe how much we have used ours since it arrived, we have the same one. Love the photo of her with the chocolate milk!
This looks fun now we just need a good summer so you can make good use of it
