Blueberry on Blue Shaved Ice

Blueberry on Blue Shaved IceI am trying to squeezed in whatever is left of summer by reminding you of one of our favorite tasty summery treats. Trinity convinced me to make some shaved ice, okay, maybe vice-verse, I convinced her. We had a very hot day a couple of weeks ago and I really wanted to give her something to cool off with some fruits. So, it was the perfect opportunity for me use our ice shaving machine and throw on some blueberries.

The kids love ice-cream, and they like sharing with mommy too, but ice-cream isn't so great for mommy. It takes so much effort for me to remove the belly fat on my tummy since I am too lazy to exercise. This is why I always try to convince them that having shaved ice is the better choice whenever possible. Shaved ice is a simple treat and the kids love making shaved ice. I am not sure which they like better, the process of making the shaved ice or the treat itself. It never fails as a treat for my kids, whenever I bring out the ice shaver machine, they are all over it.


Blueberry on Blue Shaved Ice Blueberry on Blue Shaved Ice

Ingredients: Crushed ice, Blue Icee Mix, Blueberries,
Tool: Ice Shaver Machine

Preparation: 1) If you're making one serving, it's 1 cup of crushed ice. I find if you start with regular ice it takes too long. 2) Pour it into the ice shaver machine and make sure you have another cup on the bottom to catch the shaved ice. Sometimes I forget, and end up with some on the bottom plate unused.
3) Use half of the tube of Blue Icee Mix, just pour in evenly on top. 4) T
op it off with blueberries. It takes five minutes to make, yummy and less than 80 calories per serving.

Thanks for stopping by today.

  13. @CNot washing the blueberries is heaven. That is one of the things I hate to do -washing fruits that are tiny and so many of them. Smiles.
