But I wanted to share some of my new favorite healthy summer snacks. First is frozen grapes. They are great for getting something sweet and crunchy without a lot of calories.
Next,
Homemade Orange Julius.
Here is the recipe:
1- 6oz can of frozen orange juice (I don't think they come in 6oz cans so I just used a whole can and then added more water to the recipe).
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 tray of ice
Blend it all up and you have like 6 servings of orange julius. We put the extra in a tupperware container in the freezer and now it's super easy to just take it out, let it thaw for a bit and blend it for a quick and easy cool down drink.
I also just tried the following recipe suggested by Peanut Butter Fingers (she has an awesome healthy eating/living blog). Chocolate Yogurt Mousse

1 spoonful of chocolate pudding mix (I used sugar free and fat free)
fruit of your choosing
This totally satisfies an ice cream and chocolate craving. I didn't like it so much without the fruit so make sure and put some kind of fruit in there. Grapes were delicous.
OMG! I love orange julius and used to make it all the time! I am gonna have to make this again real soon! Thanks for the recipe!
