Summer Time Treats
I truly adore summer. I love to jog outside in the morning and one day I found a funny sign:
I posted it on my Facebook wall and one woman commented, “Well, at least they are organic!” and someone commented to her, “Not necessarily!” How true!
But anyway, I love to be outside playing, biking, swimming, kayaking… and I also need to prioritize having healthy food available. One way for our family to be successful on our ketogenic lifestyle is finding easy and fast ways to have things in our fridge and freezer. One thing we all adore are frozen treats. I make a triple batch of these and store in the freezer for easy additions to my boys bike rides!
Plan Plan Plan = Success!
I received a comment on Facebook saying that I was a “stick-in-the-mud mom” because I didn’t let my kids eat at frozen yogurt shops. At first it hurt but then I realized that my kids are lucky because they do enjoy tasty treats made with love while we are out exploring rather than sitting in an air-conditioned ice cream shop!

Thank you for your love and support!
Maria, you are the BEST MOM IN THE WORLD precisely because you don’t take your kids out to eat! The safest place on earth to eat is at your house!!
I only wish my own mother took as much care feeding me as you do with your boys–her go-to mainstay became TV dinners, and anything in a can. She was all to happy to toss the apron and turn the kitchen into a ghost town.
Awe, thank you!! 🙂
Do you use both Coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk?
Yes. 🙂
maria, thank you for all that you are teaching us. I am happy that as a mother I was finally able to learn good information about food, even though my daughter is now 25. it is never to late to learn. even my daughter is making healthier choices. I don’t beat myself up for not knowing this information earlier in her life. I always did the best I could. thanks for all you do maria.
Thank you!
You are about as NON stick-in-the mud as it is possible to get! Our kids are busy GROWING an entirely NEW PERSON! The body they grow can only be as good as the building materials we put into them! Plus, seeing all the pictures of you out with your boys, they are also getting the activity they need to be healthy, and developing a love of exercise and the great outdoors. Thanks for another great recipe. I just ordered Stur last week (a 5 pack of different flavors) to try your snow cone recipe. My 7 year old twins and I are doing that this afternoon 🙂 Will need to try this one soon too!
Thanks!
Maria, you are a great Mom, the best Mom ever for your boys, and I feel lucky too because you share all your great receipes so we can have good and tasty food as well! Its great not to depend on eating in an ice-cream shop but it takes a lot of work and planning too! I think its amazing that I can decide what we put in our mouth! Thanks a lot for your work!
Thank you!
Hi Maria, would you please advise what I could use in place of the Stur, not just for the sweetness but also obviously for the flavour. It is way to difficult to get Stur where I live in Central Queensland.
Flavor extract and sweetener will work. Like these. 🙂

Cuz u dont make ur kids eat that nasty frozen concotion passing as yogurt, youre a bad mom?? Laughing…all the way to the bike trail or the playground or the backyard trampoline and NOT the mds or the allergists or the behavioral psychologists or…
Ppl gonna hate but good moms dont even hear em 😉
🙂
How many tablespoons approx. are in one container of Stur?
I’m guessing about 4. 🙂
Ok, thanks!
Don’t beat yourself up for being better than 99% of the moms out there. 😉
🙂
Those boys are so lucky to have you as a mother. I wish this world had more mothers like you and if I should decided to be a mother I hope a do as good a job as you do.
Thank you!
Recipe looks yummy. I really wish I could get some of that KetoOS stuff… I’ve been stuck at 98 lbs lost for a few months now. I still have almost 100 more lbs to lose. But $300 is just no where near feasible. I guess for now I just keep on keeping on.
It will be launching retail in a few months!;)))
I’m very very proud of you!!!
I never heard of * stur *. What flavour does it have, please! I want to use my flavor extracts instead of buying yet another item, as I am running out of cupboard space
It comes in many flavors. I love strawberry kiwi!!!
