Summer Treats

So we are having heat in our area now...well we did and will again. Anyway it got me thinking. So I am going to share a few yummy treats today. Some for Mommy and Daddy and some for the kiddos.

Yummy Sorbet
This one is super easy.
Buy your favorite Fruit. I use what is seasonal at my local Farmer's Market

Wash and clean the fruit. If needed cut it up in to manageable pieces.
In a food processor or blender Puree the fruit.

Pour in to Freezer safe containers
Freeze for 3 hours or more and enjoy

Make it cheap Coffee blend
okay so lots of people love those blended drinks from coffee shops. If you are one of those people you know how much money those can run. Well here is a easy alternative

In your blender  1 cup Combine Brewed Coffee. (You can take the leftovers from your morning pot and put them in the fridge for upto 3 days)
Add 1 cup milk
Add Ice for two servings or one large cup
Add your favorite flavors. Chocolate sauce or milk mix work great and are always on hand. you can also mix in your favorite creamer You do this with 1/3 cup Creamer and 2/3 cup milk instead on 1 cup milk

Blend to desired thickness and enjoy

Yogurt Pops
Okay so you have seen on TV the commercials to have frozen kids yogurt.
I like this option better and so does the family

Buy Vanilla Yogurt in a Big container.
Get some fresh Berries or fruit
Puree the Fruit
Mix with Vanilla

Pour into Cups and Freeze
This yummy treat is almost like frozen yogurt.

you can also mix in a blender or food processor for a smooth consistency.
