slurpable

Can be gulped

Slurpable describes food or drink that can be consumed with a slurping sound—sucking liquid noisily through pursed lips or from a spoon.

The word suggests something pleasantly consumable in this manner: The noodles were perfectly slurpable, a slurpable smoothie.

It carries a casual, even playful tone, acknowledging that slurping isn't always bad manners.
