Oatmeal with a Fork

Healthy, lower sugar, allergy-friendly recipes

Homemade Snow Cones

By 32 Comments

Hello everyone and happy ‘What I Ate Wednesday’!

July is all about eating and fitness, and I’ve got a cool routine to share with you today!

My husband works a schedule where he’s gone for 24 hours at a time, so at-home circuits definitely help when I can’t make it to the gym! I’ve also pinned some really cool ones onto my Pinterest board!

Breakfast

As always, breakfasts are a lot of oatmeal (go figure) and pancakes!

My spelt berry crepe-cakes with vanilla raspberry syrup really hit the spot, and they’re low in sugar and fat.

I’ve been taste-testing a lot of raw desserts because I’m trying to create a great no sugar, no added fat truffle recipe, and I think I’ve finally hit upon the right combination of ingredients…

I’ll be posting this recipe on Monday, so I hope you’ll swing in for it.

I found a great one-pot recipe with quinoa and kale (two of my favorite healthy foods) on the site Food52 that I made for dinner one night…

A great easy, simple and healthy recipe! I amped up the protein a bit with some slices of hard-boiled egg, and I bet it’d be great with chickpeas too!

Finally, I’ve got a cute little snack recipe for you! I’ve always loved shaved ice, and (with the help of Glamour magazine) I figured out how to make my own!

HOMEMADE SNOW CONES

1 c. orange juice

1 c. water

1 T. honey

1 t. vanilla

8 drops liquid stevia

Blend all. Freeze (covered) in Tupperware. Once frozen, take a box grater, and grate the block of frozen juice.

It’s such a refreshing snack and great for kiddos! You can easily change up the flavor to your liking too! Try blending up some fresh mango or watermelon or even strawberries for a great summer treat.

What is your favorite snow cone flavor?

I used to love banana! The place where we’d buy our filtered water doubled as a shaved ice shop, and I couldn’t wait to go with my mom and fill up on the stuff!

    Ooh- I can’t wait for the truffle recipe- YUM!
    I’m not a huge snowcone fan, but used to always go to a snowball stand when I was a kid. My favorite was always egg custard.
    And now that I’m thinking about it… that sounds pretty good….

    OoOOO! Lauren, if you love shaved ice, you DEFINITELY need to try the Korean kind!! It’s more like REAL desssert. And the Taiwanese kind is good too, but pretty sweet.

    I loved reading about your workout routine! A great addition, Lauren! My diet’s been horrible lately, and your eats put me to shame. I never got into snow cones for some reason..but the hubby loves them!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
