It’s Summer! Summer means ice cream. Ok so actually I have issues with ice cream all year round. Fortunately I have found a solution to my addiction. A ½ cup serving of most ice creams is about 200 calories. Everyone knows that ½ cup is about enough for a 5 year old. I want a good size serving of creamy sweet goodness. You can also top with some more fruit, or sprinkle on a bit of coconut (just be sure to add the calories). So try these recipes and have fun creating your own versions!
*I freeze my own papaya, but I think it is also available at Trader Joes.

Take out the Frozen fruit, and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Then Put everything except milk into blender. Pour about half the milk into blender and begin blending. Add more milk if need. You may have to stop the blender and use a spoon to push down the chunks and then continue to blend.
