New Ninja Slushi summer shades: which will you choose?

Ninja clearly knows how to tempt us. Just when I’d finished admiring the latest release of its soft-serve ice cream maker, the brand has gone and given the sellout Ninja SLUSHI™ machine a summer glow-up with the dreamiest, popsicle shades, now available for $369 at NinjaKitchen.com.

The new limited-edition palette is nothing short of delicious. There's Frosé, a powdery blush pink; Margarita, a pale green that evokes fresh lime and tequila; Blueberry Tea, a jewel-like deep purple; and Orange Mango, a vibrant sunset in frozen form. It’s the kind of color palette you’d expect from the best ice cream makers – cute and playful yet refined. I’m honestly torn; they’re all so pretty.

Ninja Slushi™ Professional Frozen Drink Maker in Frosé Pink

The Ninja Slushi went viral and sold out quickly when it first launched last summer. Now, Ninja are reigniting our excitement with four limited edition shades – a refreshing glow-up from the usual black and grey.

For those yet to be seduced, the Ninja Slushi is no ordinary frozen drink maker. Powered by RapidChill Technology, it transforms liquid into perfectly textured slush, no ice cubes required.

Five smart presets let you choose between a light, 'sipable' drink or a luxuriously thick, spoon-worthy dessert. With a generous 88-ounce capacity (over seven servings), it’s the ultimate time-saving trick for a poolside party.

Better still, the Ninja Slushi's insulated design keeps creations deliciously icy for up to 12 hours, meaning you can prepare a batch of summer cocktails before guests arrive and still serve them at a refreshing temperature.

As you can see from the videos going viral on TikTok and Instagram, the Ninja Slushi does claim a large slice of countertop real estate. But here’s my thinking: if something is going to live in full view all summer, it may as well be a joy to look at.

I keep finding myself drawn to the pastel-pink Frozé – and I’m not alone. Instagram is full of comments like, 'The way I need the pink in my life!' I'm also surprised by the love for the Mango color Ninja Slushi, too. It does create a retro orange kitchen aesthetic that reminds me of the popsicles I loved in my childhood summers.

At $369 via NinjaKitchen.com, this Ninja Slushi collection is likely to vanish as quickly as last year’s release. My advice? Choose your shade and move fast, before I talk myself into buying more than just one.

If slushies aren't your thing, there's good news. The brand has repeated the makeover on the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker and the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer, too, so everybody can get involved in this colorful summer craze.
