Chill Factor are know for their fabulous home slushy cups and have a new edition to the range called the Frozen Brain Slushy Maker. This has a fun monster style face on the casing with a brain shaped lid, which is appealing to most kids believe it or not! My daughter was excited when it arrived and couldn’t wait to get the inner cup into the freezer ready to try it out later that day.
The cup comes with easy to pull apart pieces that are all washable. To start you need to dissemble and put the bottom part in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours although I always find it best to leave it overnight for optimum slushiness the next day. You also need a chilled drink to make slush so my children always make up a cup of juice and put in the fridge to chill until their slushy cup is ready.
When your drink is chilled and cup is frozen simply piece the cup together, I did find the monster eye a little fiddly initially to fix on, but once you get the hang of it, it’s ok. Pour your juice inside and begin squeezing. Within a minute or two you will see that the juice has turned into icy slush. It’s quite fascinating to watch and has never disappointed my children who adore drinking a slushy drink.
The straw needs to be inserted under the lid upwards and then you can get the spoon end down into the slush which adds to the fun of drinking these. Excellent for Summer months, these are the perfect cooler drinks for when kids are playing outside.
My daughter absolutely loves slushy drinks and this Frozen Brain Slushy Maker cup will get regular use having had the thumbs up from Miss M!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
The cup comes with a solid straw that has a spoon on the end to get any slushy bits at the end. The cup has an insulated inner with a solid outside. The lid has a handle with a special bit that comes down to mix it all up.
As with all ChillFactor cups you need to put them in the freezer first, in my experience overnight is best and you can guarantee you will then get the desired result. To make your milkshake you simply add flavoured milk into the frozen cup, in our case chocolate for a treat, add the lid and just shake and stir. In just a couple of minutes your flavoured milk will have turned into a thick, frothy, frozen style milkshake. My two children were so eager to try this that they worked together in creating their drink.
And this was the result!
The children took turns drinking through the straw which fits through the lid and informed me that it was utterly delicious and tasted like ice cream! 
As soon as they’d finished it, they made another one, as fortunately with this cup you can use it twice consecutively before it needs to go back in the freezer. This time they both wanted to get stuck in, so got an extra straw and very kindly shared it with each other.
