3 SUMMER TREATS FOR BEATING THE HEAT
Few things beat indulging in a cool treat on a hot summer day! Let’s face it, who doesn’t have a bit of a sweet tooth? If you and your family are looking to cool off this summer, or if you are just looking to treat yourself, these three easy-to-make desserts are sure to be a hit!
Pop Some Popsicles Into Your Freezer
An absolute classic, popsicles are as easy-to-make as they are delicious to eat! All you need to get started is a popsicle mold and your favorite juice flavors. For a richer taste, try using fruit purées or blended fruits as your base ingredient. A great tip for those who are looking to try something new is to add a bit of yogurt into the mix to give your popsicles a little extra kick!
Mix Up a Fruit Smoothie
A simple go-to that is perfect for busy summer days, fruit smoothies are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a healthier option. Using your blender, mix together a cup of your favorite fruits and a ½ cup of yogurt for a tasty treat you are sure to love. If you prefer a more slushy-consistency, be sure to add ice to your smoothie mix!
Blend the Perfect Milkshake
A decadent treat that is perfect for treating yourself and your family, milkshakes are simple to make and delicious to eat! Once again using your blender, grab your favorite ice cream flavor and blend it together with milk—a good rule of thumb is to use a ¼ cup of milk per every scoop of ice cream. For fruity ice cream flavors, adding in fruits such as strawberries or bananas can bring a bold new taste to your shake.
