Hello everyone! I've been meaning to share this for awhile but with the cold weather I've not been using it as much. My favorite kitchen gadget since VSG surgery for a "dessert" has to be the "Dessert Bullet" ! I purchased this before my surgery off of a recommendation from a veteran VSGer. If you've never seen or used one all you do is add fresh frozen fruit in the top and it comes out a ice cream consistency! You don't need any other ingredients. It's amazing! My kids LOVE it. My daughter likes to freeze yogurt and adds it into the mix. You can do all kinds of variations. The best part is you know exactly what's going in and coming out so its easy to track. Of course you will have to be at the stage where you are allowed fruit and fruit still has natural sugars so you shouldn't go wild We always use the No sugar added frozen fruit and bananas make it even more creamy. We like to use the over ripe banana (cut them up and freeze them). Anyway I just thought I would share a product I love and am grateful I found especially with summer just around the corner!!! PS: The picture is just the frozen dole fruit I didn't add any banana so its more of a sherbet texture. Play around with it and have fun! I bought mine at Walmart and I think I paid around 40 bucks for it? I'm sure you can find it on amazon ect..

Thanks for the tip!! I've also found that when I want a chocolate fix the Cocoa Roasted Almonds from Emerald are awesome, no sugar, and satisfying. They come in 100 calorie packets too, so, you don't have to worry about portions. Also, an occasional Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa is good -- I add a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened Special Dark Cocoa powder to it (under 5 calories). (You can add that Cocoa Powder to other things for a little chocolate zip.)

@@Elizabeth21 Thanks for the tips! I will have to check those out!

Oh, we are going to have some VERY happy, tiny tummies! You know, I NEVER used to look forward to summer before, always too hot for me, and especially not looking forward to always having to cover up my not-so-great looking legs/arms, but now after WLS, the weight loss, having yummy but portion-controlled treats, and great support from BP, summer looks better than ever! Bring it on!

@@CanyonBaby Preach sister!! Amen!!

Where can I buy it?

@@lclemur I got mine at Walmart. I'm not sure if they carry it all year I will check for you...

@@lclemur I found these on the Walmart website and bed bath and beyond. It looks like you can find them a most large retail sites.

I fixed it.

@@LipstickLady Yay!! Thank you! Now I will be able to sleep tonight!!

Me, too! That was bugging the crap out of me. I forgot I could fix it. HA!

I do fruit like that in the summer. I just have a regular nutra bullet so it needs to sit in the freezer for a bit to firm back up. I plan to upgrade to a nicer popsicle mold this summer and play with new fruit combinations.

@@BLERDgirl If you find a good one make a post and let us know!

@@LipstickLady I really need to proof read better but for some reason this always seems to delete what I write half way through and I have to re type it all just in time for it to do it again. I typed and copied along the way that post no less that 6 times!
