This Blueberry Granita is the perfect make-ahead dessert for your next party or cookout. It is light and refreshing, pleasing to kids and adults alike!


Blueberry Granita
With our location independent lifestyle, I have traveled all over the United States.

This post was sponsored by Fresh From Florida as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central, however, all opinions expressed are my own.

Although I enjoy our adventures, every time I cross back across the Florida line, a sense of peace overwhelms me.

It feels like home.

There is so much that I love about being here, from the weather to the beaches.

Blueberry Granita

One of my favorite things is the availability of fresh produce. I love how Florida Farmers make it so easy for everyone to enjoy fresh produce year-round.

I can never remember a time when I was in Florida, and there wasn't something fresh and local in the produce department to enjoy.

Right now, we are enjoying blueberries so much!

They are such a great snack by themselves, but also fantastic in recipes.

Blueberry Granita

Some of our favorite recipes are these Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes and Quinoa with Blueberries, Walnuts, and Bananas.

I’ve always blueberries on salads, like in this Mixed Green Salad with Blueberries and Maple Nut Quinoa Clusters.

I am a bit obsessed with fruit-based desserts, and one of my favorite things to enjoy blueberries is in desserts for parties and cookouts.

Blueberry Granita

I couldn't love this Blueberry Granita more. It is light and refreshing, while still feeling very much like a dessert.

The kids love the color, and I love knowing that their "snow cones" are getting their color from fruit rather than artificial colors.

This is a great dessert to make ahead for your next party!

When you are shopping, looks for the Fresh From Florida label on produce and seafood!

    This recipe sounds great but in the directions, you say to add orange and lemon juice but an amount of orange juice is not in the list of ingredients.
