Beat the Summer Heat with a Healthy and Delicious Treat!

While you only need about a cup of frozen fruit to achieve fluffy shaved ice, we like to stock up on many frozen fruits to have a selection ready on-hand whenever you have a craving. 

This is a lightweight alternative to other frozen treats like ice cream, so it stays on path with your weightloss journey if that's your goal! But why save it for dessert? Sometimes we have this for breakfast or midday fruit indulgence!

Ingredients (Only need one of these!):

• Ripe Watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, or any other melon you enjoy
• Ripe Pineapple also works
• Smaller fruits can be a bit trickier, but mangoes, peaches and large strawberries can also work great!

Optional Ingredients:

• Honey or Maple Syrup
• Sweetened Condensed Milk or Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
• Lemon or Lime
  

Directions: 

1. Prepare and Freeze the Fruit:
   
   • Begin by preparing your chosen fruits, cutting them into large pieces. For melons and pineapples, keep the rinds and skin on so you have something to grip. For certain fruits like strawberries, you can keep them whole. 
     
     
   • Freeze the fruit overnight to ensure it's thoroughly chilled.
     
     
2. Grate:
     
   • Once the fruit is frozen, get all your supplies ready before you take them out of the freezer. Be sure to have a bowl or plate ready to capture your finely shredded fruit!
     
     
   • Best results are achieved using a fine grater, like a microplane grater, because it will provide a fluffier texture. You can also use the fine part of a box grater or the grater attachment on your food processor, if you have one. 
     
     
   • Grate until you reach your desired porton!

1. Add Toppings:

• • Add toppings of choice, and enjoy immediately.
