Frozen Prune-Butter Spheres of Joy
Its summer time!
Doesn’t everything seem so much better in the summer?
The days are warmer, sunnier, and longer. Days off feel so much better. Fruits and desserts taste sweeter. Rays of sun feel yummy on bare skin.
My favorite summer treats are ice cream, iced coffee, and smoothies. The latter two I usually only have in the summer but ice cream I crave all year round. I wish I had some ice cream right now. Mmmm ice cream. Usually I still prefer having something to munch on then slurp so I made these fun little treats.
This recipe is very similar to my Spheres of Joy but are placed in the freezer to get nice and cold. You could skip putting them in the freezer or allow them to get to room temperature before eating. They taste great each way.
They are also a good snack to help with digestion. The prunes and oatmeal add fibre and act as natural diuretics (just saying)
These are an awesome, cool, sweet, and nutritious treat for a hot day. Enjoy!

Ice cream is definitely the best summer treat! No summer plans, unfortunately- my next trip isn't til October.
