Skinny Dippers: the Sweet Surprise of the Season!

Just in time for summer, I’ve discovered Skinny Dippers. One word sums up how I feel about these incredibly tasty, satisfying, 0-calorie, 0-carb desserts: bliss!

Whether you’re seeking a light dessert or a sneaky sweet that you can enjoy without guilt, Skinny Dippers are the magic answer!

Currently, the flavors include Tangy Tangerine and Frosty Lemon. All you have to do to prepare them is pop the individually wrapped containers in the freezer, wait for them to get freeze, and then tear or cut off the top.

The tangerine flavor is wonderfully tart, somehow mingling sweet flavors with citrus zing. Zero calories, zero net carbs, zero sugar, and one hundred percent flavor: what’s not to like?!

Let us not forget the lemon flavor (in fact, before I do justice to it, I must jump up and have just one more….).

To envision the full lemon flavor of the Frosty Lemon Skinny Dippers, imagine frozen lemonade on a hot summer day. The difference: lemon Skinny Dippers do not require all that endless preparation.

For example, the last time I tried to prepare frozen lemonade at home, I went out and bought fresh lemons. Then I squeezed them (resulting in getting hit in the eye by an indignant lemon’s squirt of juice!), tried to spoon out the seeds, mixed in real sugar (feeling guilty and envisioning my dentist bill), put them in the freezer to get cold fast, hunted for ice cubes, and discovered someone had used them up. Sigh. So not worth it.
In contrast, Skinny Dippers require no preparation.  You just have to freeze them and enjoy them!  And oooooh, do I enjoy the pleasure of finally discovering a zero-calorie treat that really does satisfy my sweet tooth.

For me, in fact, they’ve become a healthy addiction! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I hear a Tangy Tangerine Skinny Dipper calling my name….
