Finally, some good news: The Ninja Slushi is back in stock.
Technically, this “restock” is the Best Buy Drop of the day for Friday, Nov. 15. Best Buy Drops is a tab in the Best Buy mobile app that features a running list of items dropping that week, which are often high-profile items at record-low sale prices or, in this case, a restock of a high-profile item that’s hard to get your hands on.
Once a Drop goes live (this is always at 11 a.m. ET), a status bar will pop up above the item to show how much inventory has been claimed — indicating how quickly you need to make your move. (Once the inventory for that Drop has all been claimed, it’s gone.) Given the number of times the Ninja Slushi has sold out since it came out in July, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Slushi stock at Best Buy will dwindle within an hour or two.
And coming from someone who has been using the Slushi on a regular basis since the summer, I’m here to let you know that you won’t regret taking advantage of this Drop and having Slushi opportunities at your fingertips whenever you want.
Hear me out: Little treats are more crucial than ever in Times Like These (whatever that means to you). But as we know all too well, the whole “it gets dark at 5 p.m. now” thing makes leaving the house the last thing on earth that we want to do, even if a fun drink or milkshake is waiting on the other side.
The Ninja Slushi is literally a little treat machine, and the mere variety of its menu is the thing I love most about it. The five settings on the Ninja Slushi are slush, spiked slush, frappé, milkshake, and frozen juice, so the possibilities are pretty endless. You can whip up a frozen version of the orange juice you drink every morning or the protein drink you have after your workouts, recreate a fancy drink you got on vacation that one time, bring to life a collection of ingredients that you think would go well together, or literally just pour in soda and make a Coke slushie. The Slushi takes around an hour to take stuff from liquid to frozen, but it can then keep your mix at that consistency for several hours afterward.
Yes, you can pour soda, juice, or wine directly into the Slushi with no other ingredients. The fine print there is that sugar is the main fuel that makes the Slushi slush — so slushing a diet soda or seltzer with no sugar requires having simple syrup or agave on hand. No, the Slushi can’t make ice cream exactly like the Ninja Creami, though the milkshake setting is kind of close. Compared to the Creami that is sitting right beside the Slushi on my counter, the Slushi is much quieter, and requires much less prep work.
Admittedly, my usage slowed down for a hot second after prime frozen margarita weather waned off — but usage picked right back up when all of the chilly weather cozy concoction recipes started flowing. Most recently, my friend and I made frozen apple cider mimosas, and next up is a sugar cookie martini.
