Freezing Grapes, What A Concept!
Frozen grapes are apparently nothing new to the world, but they are new to me! My family has always occasionally bought bags of grapes.. maybe twice a year. We pick a few out at a time, wash them, and eat them. Big deal.
I’m on the my third week now of trying to eat healthy, according to the standards of Eat Right America and The China Study, and what I’ve noticed is that by the end of the day, I want to eat about every 5 minutes, and I’m grabbing for the pre-cut chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge at 11 o’clock at night. Big no no!
I went to my dear friend Google yesterday, and as we were conversing, I asked him if he knew of any low calorie candies.. He gave me a list to reference to! It became clear to me after looking at these wonderful websites, that many people freeze fruit to get their sugar fixes. That concept never crossed my mind. When I think frozen fruit, the first thought that enters my mind is ‘WHERES THE BLENDER!?’ I’m ready for a smoothie.
I tried the frozen grape thing yesterday, it was great, they were great. I stayed in my calorie budget for the day, which makes me great. If you have not tried this delicious and very simple treat, then I suggest you do so. Try a variety of different grapes together!
There are a lot of how-to guides out there for freezing grapes, but I don’t think it’s that hard of a thing to do.. What I’ve been doing is just rinsing all of my grapes at once, drying them well, and sticking portions of the vine in plastic cups (re-using the cups so I’m not being wasteful,) letting them freeze, and eating them up!
