mini sno cones {a healthy snack}



We are at the height of berry-pickin' season and I can't think of a better snack to reward {bribe!} your little helpers with.

Directions:


Crush ice in a blender unless you are fortunate enough to have THE.SNOOPY.SNO.CONE.MAKER.

Take extra fruit and add a bit of lemon juice and a tiny bit of sugar and let it sit. Mash berries and strain for juice.

I put mine into a squeeze bottle with a little nozzle.

Use ice cream cone scooper to form crushed ice into dish.
Top with fruit syrup.
Another idea for quick and fast syrup without the HFCS: MONIN or TORANI syrup.

Your little berry pickers will be eager little beavers to help pick berries again...GUARANTEED!

  3. Love the idea of using fresh berries and real sugar, not corn syrup. I might need to invest in a little snow cone ice crusher. Looks refreshing!
