You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! There’s definitely room in every healthy diet for a modest scoop of fully-loaded ice cream on occasion, but if you want to indulge in a healthier and lighter way while still enjoying a tasty frozen treat, we’ve got a recipe for you!
If you’ve never heard of a granita, it’s an Italian dessert that lives somewhere between sorbet and shaved ice. It’s wonderfully easy to make at home because it requires no special equipment and no churning. And it’s wonderful for folks who are looking for a healthier treat because the recipe is low on added sugar and dairy, and packed with healthy nutrients thanks to fresh, ripe peaches.

cup whole milk
Steps
- Combine all ingredients in the basin of a blender. Blended on high until very smooth.
