a peek inside the fishbowl

It may be a tough slog after all the work you’ve done to get there, but that’s ok.

(What does this post mean? I don’t exactly know yet. But it definitely means something.)

I tweeted out my afternoon snack yesterday and I got some rather excited responses so I thought I should share it here too. BEHOLD.

It is very simple to make. Take some mocha-flavoured greek yogurt (that’s the thick kind if you haven’t tried it before) and put a portion in a small bowl and freeze it. I was unable to wait longer than an hour but it was just enough to freeze the edges. Stir, breaking up the icy bits. Add a handful of chocolate chips or top with berries, or both! It’s a nice treat; tangy, and not too sweet.

It was a great way to crush my afternoon coffee and sugar cravings, so I am geared up to try this with lemon-flavoured greek yogurt next. Maybe topped with some raspberries too.

These are the other “mom-only” treats I predict will be on rotation this summer:

• Coffee popsicles (YES. REALLY. They are amazing.)
• Poke coffee (Hmm. I sense a coffee-theme here.)
• Banana “ice cream” … ok MAYBE I’ll share this one and not keep it all to myself. It’s a great way to use up spotty bananas and it’s almost as sweet as the real thing.
