0 calorie slushy treat!



Recommended Posts

I had to share this because it's so good!

I have a weakness for frozen, slushy type drinks. For instance, Taco Bell's pina colada freeze was always a favorite of mine. But I don't need all the sugar and calories so it's rare I'll have one.

So, I have done some experimenting!

I took Ice (that's the brand name) coconut pineapple sparkling Water and froze it. (this rids the carbonation). Then, I crushed it up in a blender. Next, I poured in some more of the coconut pineapple sparkling Water and blended it together (the blender killed the carbonation again). This made it the slushy consistency.

I swear, it is just as good as the Taco Bell freeze. Maybe even better but ZERO calories.

I figure if I add a little rum, it would make a really good low calorie pina colada too!

I think this worked with this particular brand because it has so much flavor. I'm going to try it with other flavors, too.

(again, this is carbonated so be careful. I always get the carbonation out before drinking it)

OH, to quote Rachel Ray, Yum-O. Sounds good, I will have to try it! Not familiar with the brand ICE. I will look for it next time I am at the store!

Yum, I love Slush Puppies and ICEEs! :) Stupid question, but how did you freeze this, like in ice cube trays?

Actually that's a good question! I meant to include that and forgot! Thank you!

Yes, I made a tray of ice cubes with it. If you just freeze the whole bottle it'll be too big to crush in the blender.

Mis...Does that mean a coke icee doesn't have the carbonation? I hadn't thought of that.

Yum! Now that I've had a root canal on the tooth that couldn't take anything cold--I'm going to try this! It will be my celebration drink!

I just tried this and it was awesome. And so easy to do. My new go to instead of a sugary 7-11 or Q-Trip slushy. Thanks for sharing. Next time I might put a touch of rum in it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
