"Almost sugar-free" granadilla and berry slush

Thursday, November 10, 2011

It is hot! I haven't really felt the heat, as I am stuck in the office most of the time, and in there I wear a nice thick jacket. In short, it is bloody cold with the aircon! But for those odd days that I am not in the office, oh let's call it weekends, I need something to cool me down.

Enter Pick 'n Pay's idea! It is almost ridiculously healthy as it is almost sugar free! Perfect for those weight watchers, like me. Yay fruit! Yay summer! You can use almost any fruit that is in season, but avoid fruit that oxidises, such as apples and pears.


Ingredients:

250 ml artificial sweetener
............................................................................................................
750 ml water
............................................................................................................
500 grams mixed frozen berries
...........................................................................................................
250ml granadilla pulp
...........................................................................................................



Method to the healthy madness:


  • Heat sweetener and water in a saucepan to dissolve. Cool.
  • Blitz berries until smooth. Stir berries and granadilla through syrup.
  • Place in a shallow container and freeze.
  • Mash every hour to break up ice crystal until it forms a slushy mixture.
  • Serve immediately in glasses with straws or tall spoons.

Enjoy!

For kids, use some extra fun straws, like the ones showed above.

That looks so refreshing!!!

If it's any consolation I'm sitting in an airconditioned office too - with a big grey jersey on...I don't understand why people like sitting in freezer like temperatures *sigh* :)
