"Monsteration" relief Slushies

Do you feel like a monster when your period rolls around? Or maybe your period IS the monster. Either way, enjoy this delicious, healthy, vegan-option treat to help soothe the savage beast. Measurements are estimated, I just eyeballed everything and went by taste/feel (I'm a full contact cook).
3 cups raspberries
3 cup strawberries
1 cup maple syrup or honey, or ½ cup agave nectar (or just sweeten to taste) - optional
1-2 cups Chocolate chips of your choice or 1 cup shaved chocolate - optional
Blend raspberries, strawberries, and sweetener. Use as is, or strain out seeds (I was lazy). Stir in chocolate if using, pour into molds and freeze. Enjoy during "that time." The strawberries are packed with stuff like vitamin c, potassium (helps with muscle contractions), folate, and fiber, while raspberries are packed with vitamin c, manganese, and fiber (and they are known to help reduce cramping!!!), plus, y'know, chocolate. Store in an airtight container, and they'll last several months in the freezer (three months later, and the first batch I made is still tasty).
