I hope you guys are having a fabulous 3-day weekend. Truth be told, it's like any other weekend for us. Life with a newborn is different, as you know. I'm making homemade pizza for dinner...kind of the exact opposite of grilling outdoors, but these days, I'm just proud of anything homemade that I can manage to produce.
My parents are coming into town tomorrow to meet Camille, so I'll keep this short and sweet. There was a time in my pregnancy where frozen and cold foods were mind-blowing. I run cold normally, and we're the types of people that set our house to 80 in the summer. Coldness just doesn't agree with me...normally. But ice cold food was my obsession. I made every kind of fruit smoothie, and ate every kind of ice cream. Oh mama. But then I needed to healthify my craving, so I turned to these coconut water fruit slushies.
They each only have two ingredients: frozen fruit + coconut water. You can absolutely add a bit of agave to sweeten them up. I found that the strawberry and banana versions didn't need to be sweetened, but the blueberry version could use a bump of sweetness.
You can use frozen fruit right from the bag, or slice and freeze your own.
You can layer them together for even more fun!
P.S. Are you looking for an alcoholic version? I've got peach wine slushies and mixed berry wine slushies, too!
These healthy fruit slushies are so quick to make and so refreshing.Fruity Coconut Water Slushes

I have to admit that I was on the fence until you said "wine." Now I see a common ground.

I am with ya. I run on frigid. I need socks all the time. And blankets. But give me one of these slushies and I won't complain. In fact, I'll slurp it right down!
Kit says
This unsweetened option is perfect in a small size for a person who has blood sugar issues! I will tuck the idea away for when the weather here in the Midwest heats up! Still waiting!
As always, your photography is stunning.
