Snack That

Fun Food Snackery

You’re no stranger to mixing up the seasons.

Friends know you for surfing the icy ocean and tanning on the ski slopes. And that cozy sarongs ’n’ sunglasses party you hosted during last year’s blizzard? Smashing.

So you’ll appreciate the tasty contradictions of Summer Snow Shaved Ice at Fun Food Snackery.

The delightfully tiered treat nestles a fluffy mound of snowy ice (forget those coarse crystals of ye olde sno-cone) beneath a bounty of super-fresh fruit (strawberry, mango, and kiwi), cream sauce, fresh fruit puree, and a scoop of Christina’s Ice Cream or sorbet. That’s right, the ice cream goes on top. And flavors rotate depending on what’s in season, like blood orange, lychee, and kalamansi lemon.

Polishing off this made-to-order, mostly healthy snack leaves you feeling cucumber cool and invigorated.

Just like parading around in flip-flops in February.
