Watermelon Moscow Mule ( Low Sugar , Low Carb )

I’m not much of a drinker, but when I do have a drink… it’s usually something girly fufu and sweet! One of my favorite drinks is a flavored moscow mule. I’m usually all about the huckleberry. This time though I was craving watermelon. I live in North Idaho and although the summers are absolutely heavenly and gorgeous, they are extremely short! So we try to absorb every ounce of the summer vibes we can. That doesn’t just go for outdoor activities, it goes for the summertime food and drinks as well. Watermelon is another one of those fruits that just makes summer feel even more like summer. This super refreshing Watermelon Moscow Mule is low in sugar ( sugar coming naturally from the watermelon … basically sugar free ) , no refined sugars, and is low in carbs.

I recently stumbled across this Zevia brand Ginger Beer and we absolutely love it! It’s naturally flavored, and has zero calories. To top it off, it has no sugar, no artificial sweeteners and is Non GMO.

If your looking for a really delicious Gluten Free Vodka that’s reasonably priced, then I suggest this Tito’s Handmade Vodka. This brand has no sugar or gelatin added.

( Keep in mind if you are sensitive to corn, it is distilled from corn. )

Ingredients you will need

Fresh seedless watermelon
Monkfruit sweetener
Vodka
Fresh lime juice
Fresh finely grated ginger
“Zevia” brand Ginger Beer

Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet

Summertime and the livings easy! And isn’t that what we all love so much about summer? Last summer we went to Maui for a family vacation. It was like pineapple central. I have never had so many pineapple treats in one whole week! From pineapple’s all over my acai bowls, pineapple whip, pina colada’s, pineapple ice cream, to even drinking fresh pineapple juice out of an actual pineapple. I mean it’s pretty safe to say I was in pineapple heaven, and this girl has no complaints!

As I was reminiscing this week about our trip last July, I started to get some serious major pineapple cravings. It’s been warming up here in North Idaho so I thought a pineapple sorbet sounded pretty darn amazing. This tropical frozen treat has a fun little twist… raspberries. That was non negotiable because pineapple and raspberries are my two most favorite fruits. It would be a sin if I left them out.

My Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet recipe can be made in a jiff, and it only requires 4 ingredients! Yes four ingredients. I knew that would make you smile 🙂 This delicious light summer treat is paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and has no refined sugars. How can it get any better than that? All you need is a food processor, frozen pineapple, frozen raspberries, better than half, and honey ( I like to buy local honey, it helps to combat allergies ). I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do, and if your looking for some more pineapple inspiration check out this delicious Pineapple Candied Yams recipe. This is a great recipe to keep in mind with the holidays right around the corner.
