These 3 ingredient treats are a healthy version to your favorite restaurant slush.

I love me some watermelon! Especially during this pregnancy, watermelon has been one of my biggest cravings. This summer we’ve ate watermelon almost every single day but switched up the ways we eat it; that way my boys don’t get tired of eating the same thing over and over again. Their favorite is making watermelon into sorbet. My favorite is this watermelon slush.

I’ve always been a huge slush fan and during my second pregnancy we seriously went to Sonic at least 3 times a week to pick up my favorite craving. I didn’t realize how much sugar was in them until I was doing research on how to make my own (buying slushes that frequently can get expensive) and found out they use five pounds of sugar to every one gallon of water. No wonder I gained so much weight during that pregnancy!

These slushes use only 1/2 cup of sugar and taste just as sweet; if not sweeter! Plus they are so easy to make. I’m over at Pretty Providence sharing all three ingredients and the full recipe. You can check it out here.

This tangy, sweet treat is sure to keep you cool this summer.

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty dang excited about summertime coming! Even though we had a light winter, you can’t beat the summer heat and all the fun activities that come along with it. I started my summer bucket list and can’t wait to start crossing things off! One thing that I have to remember during all our summer fun is to keep the boys and I hydrated. Sometimes that can be hard to remember when we’re running around and having a good time.

So when we were at Sam’s Club last weekend picking up a few last minute things for our monthly family party I wanted to find a few new drinks that could keep us hydrated; water is best but sometimes you just need more flavor. I was surprised to see SunnyD in the refrigerated section. I remember drinking SunnyD as a kid from the big jug and these new 24-pack bottles were the perfect size for my little guys’ hands. Plus they were on Rollback for $5.38; not too shabby for a 24 pack! Of course the boys wanted to try them as soon as we got home and let me just say I’m glad they are on sale until August because we will definitely be going back to get more; they were a hit!

After our early morning grocery run we decided to go for a bike ride. One turn lead to another and after a quick stop by the local duck pond we headed home… after two hours. It was so much fun but when we got home we were all super thirsty. I was getting ready to make our usual summer treat, Slushes, but when I reached in the fridge to grab the club soda I saw the SunnyD and decided to switch things up a bit. They were SO good!! I didn’t add any sugar, which I was a little bit worried about, but the SunnyD had the perfect amount of taste to make these cool treats tangy and sweet without being too overpowering. Because they take less than 2 minutes to make, I think these may be our new go-to summer treats!
