Frozen Hot Chocolate

Sugar Free Hot Cocoa (only 25 calories!) or you can use a regular hot cocoa mix
Skim Milk
Ice
Chocolate Protein Powder, optional

1. Place all ingredients in the blender.
* I usually put in a handful of ice cubes and cover the ice with skim milk. You can adjust this to your liking.
2. Blend for deliciousness.
3. Enjoy!

* This was yummy, refreshing, and light. I loved how simple and healthy it was and a great way for me to feel like I am having dessert and increasing my fluids at the same time. I love how it gets frothy on top. I made this for my daughter with a normal hot cocoa packet, 2% milk, and a little squirt of chocolate syrup for added chocolate flavor and she guzzled it down. This has quickly and easily become a favorite in our house!

Watermelon Juice


seedless watermelon chunks
water
sugar

1) Puree watermelon chunks in blender until smooth. (We like a few very small chunks but blend to your liking) Pour into pitcher.
2) Add water and sugar to taste. Stir well.
3) Stir well before serving.

Best served cold from the fridge or with ice.

*This is my daughter's favorite juice and the only juice she will drink. We could live on this stuff! It's such a pretty drink to serve at a shower or special occasion.
