Zoku Gluten Free and Healthy Summer Slushes

I had a great find this week at a store in Kelowna! It was the Zoku Slush and Shake maker! It creates healthy slushes and shakes in seven minutes! From what I understand, the liquid in it freezes incredibly cold and then what you place in the cup freezes quickly. You keep stirring the fluid until it reaches the desired consistency. It is great! I have tried two slushes and it really does work in seven minutes. I was thinking that this will be a great way to change up my morning protein shake, however protein powder does not freeze very well because my first slush was a complete bust. However, I made one with almond milk and watermelon puree and it turned out perfectly! My only complaint about the Zoku product is that all recipes require blending first. I am not a fan of this and am going to try to prevent it. If I am going to take the time to blend a shake, I am not going to then place it in the slush maker, I will just drink it from the blender.

I am very excited to see what fun creations for healthy shakes and slushes I can come up with! This one was very easy. It was one cup of almond milk, and one cup of watermelon cut small. It had great flavour and was refreshing! The best part was that it was only one weight watchers point! It was completely quilt free

There are so many possibilities! I want to try making a slush with coconut water and cherries, as well as a milkshake with almond milk and cocoa. You can make them healthy and don't have to run to the store when you are craving a unhealthy treat! This is also the perfect solution to avoid dairy and still enjoy a shake! Zoku has other great products that I would love to try such as a ice cream maker, and popsicle molds.

The last few days have been relaxing. I have been swimming laps every morning at 6, and have been doing my best to eat healthy. Friday involved some wine tastings, so I am counting that as a serving of fruits (sometimes you just have to have a little bit of fun!). This week is filled with many more adventures in Kelowna, so I am going to have to get motivated on my class in order to enjoy the week!
