[Melissa Bennett]

Oh it is a beautiful warm day and I am sitting enjoying a vanilla bean granita!!! I think I died and went to heaven!!!

[meems]

sounds yummy!

did we make this granita?
where did the granita come from?
need more details please

[Melissa Bennett]

Oh sorry, I will blame it on a brain freeze!! We used to own a coffee shop and got this mix for these in Washington State. My hubby was just there last month and went to the place we used to get them from and brought home 4 bags of the mix. They are soooooooooooo good, sigh! Easy to make too, just add milk or coffee (mine is minus the coffee), 2 scoops of the mix and ice and blend it up and oh my gosh, just the most incredible taste. I don't think 4 bags was enough now. Good thing I found a site to by the Big Train mixes online. LOL!!

[Misty Cato]

[uptowngirl]

I'd love anything blended right now!!! I'm super jealous girl!

[tuneskids]

ok, thanks so much Mimi for posting that link ... now I want some, and of course, nothing like that around here! lol

[Melissa Bennett]

Nutritional values? Hmmm, why bother with those silly little details!! Misty my hubby picked them up in Spokane at a place called URM. But if you are on the west side of the state I know United Cash N' Carry also has them. But also you have coffee stands every 2 feet there on the west side too!! LOL!! Alot of their Granita mixes have coffee in them, we like this one because it is coffee free. Okay gonna drink some more!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

[MandaBean]

Thanks for taking the time to do the search Mimi..I could have done that huh? lol Dang, it all looks so delish, but no nutritional info. Melissa..help?!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[pbumbaca]

OK, so kind of like a Starbucks Frappuchino or a Dunkin Donuts Coolatta? Looks very yummy! I like my coffee drinks hot so I'd probably go for the non-coffee kind and add some Bailey's or Chambord in it!

[~Julie~]

[scrappychic]
