Whether you refer to it as shaved ice or its Italian name, granita, this frozen treat is full of flavor and low on calories.  A granita is made by freezing fruit puree that has been sweetened with simple syrup.  To form the ice crystals, you scrape the mixture with a fork about every half hour.  This is a perfect low calorie and low fat summertime treat that is guaranteed to please the palette.
