WE BOUGHT THIS SNOW MACHINE FOR CROSLEY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY AND WE STILL USE IT IN THE SUMMER-TIME! THE KIDS LOVE CONCOCTING THEIR OWN FRUITY SYRUPS AND I LOVE THAT ITS SUPER EASY TO MAKE LOW-SUGAR NATURAL FRUIT SYRUPS THAT THEY ARE STOKED ON. TODAY WE MADE A STRAWBERRY LIME SNOW CONE AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TRYING TO DO LOW SUGAR/LOW CARB SO i MADE US A CHOCOLATE SNOW CONE WITH MONKFRUIT (HAS NO SUGAR CONTENT SO IT DOESN’T SPIKE BLOOD SUGAR) WITH COCONUT SHAVINGS ON TOP.
