No-Fat Snack
A refreshing, guilt-free snack featuring sweet grapes coated in milkshake mix and frozen, perfect as a healthy candy alternative for satisfying sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the milkshake mix in a Ziploc bag.
- Add washed grapes, which are still damp.
- Shake well to coat each grape with the mix.
- Freeze the coated grapes until firm.
- Enjoy as a candy substitute.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the milkshake mix before coating the grapes. If you can't find Alba 70, any sugar-free milkshake mix can work as a substitute to achieve a similar taste. Make sure the grapes are damp but not too wet to ensure the mix adheres properly.
Serving Suggestions
These frozen grapes make a fantastic snack on their own but also pair beautifully with a refreshing glass of Carol'S Cranberry Tea for a delightful summer treat. For a fun party platter, serve them alongside other fruit treats like sliced strawberries and pineapple chunks for a colorful display.
Storage & Reheating
Store the coated grapes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. If you need to reheat them, it's best to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying, as they are best served frozen for that candy-like texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of fruit for this recipe?
Absolutely! While seedless grapes work best for this recipe, you can experiment with other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices. Just make sure to adjust the freezing time as different fruits may require longer or shorter periods to freeze solid.
How long do the coated grapes take to freeze?
Typically, the grapes will take about 2-3 hours to freeze until firm. However, for best results, you can leave them overnight. Just ensure they are in a single layer in the container to prevent sticking together.
Are these grapes suitable for kids?
Yes, these frozen grapes make a great healthy snack option for kids! They are fun to eat and can satisfy a sweet craving without added fat or sugar. Just keep an eye on younger children to ensure they don't choke on the frozen grapes.
