A Festive Ice Cream Float with LESS Sugar!

Did you know that November is National Diabetes Month?  And today is World Diabetes Day?  It's a more important day than you might realize.  Nearly 30 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes, and I have walked in their shoes.  I had insulin dependent gestational diabetes for two of my three pregnancies, which makes me empathize with those 30 million living with diabetes so much more!  So when I was invited by Blue Bunny® to raise awareness for National Diabetes Month and make a sweet treat that is diabetic friendly, I was ALL IN!  Here's the lower-sugar sweet treat we came up with that's perfect for this holiday season…

Low Sugar Peppermint Cherry Ice Cream Float

Ingredients:

• Blue Bunny® Sweet Freedom (No Sugar Added) Vanilla Ice Cream
• peppermint extract
• cherry flavored diet soda
• maraschino cherries
• sugar free whipped cream
• holiday sprinkles

Steps: 

Put a scoop or two of Blue Bunny® Sweet Freedom Vanilla Ice Cream in a fun holiday mug.  Add a drop or two of peppermint extract.

Pour some cherry flavored diet soda over top.  Be careful, it'll bubble up.  (The kids will love this!)  Add some whipped cream, a cherry, and some sprinkles to the top.  ENJOY your Peppermint Cherry Ice Cream Float!
