I mean, who isn't OBSESSED with enjoying the sunny weather while keeping our bodies nourished and happy? I get it. I’m right there with you, and that's why I've decided to share my favorite healthy frozen treats for summer, designed specifically for us adults!
The Sweetness of Summer
We can all agree that summer is the best time to play around with our diets and introduce new, nutrient-dense foods into our meals. But let's talk about one thing that tends to sneak into our summer diets - sugar alcohol cocktails. UGH, IKYK. These heavy, sugary beverages not only make us feel sluggish but also affect our overall health. So why not ditch them and opt for healthier choices that are just as delicious, if not more?
8 Easy-to-Make Healthy Frozen Treats
Now for the part you've all been waiting for - my list of eight EASY TO MAKE healthy Frozen Treats for Summer for adults. Each one of these treats is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits.
Pineapple and Kale Popsicles: Blend equal parts of pineapple and kale with a touch of honey for sweetness. Pineapple is rich in Vitamin C and enzymes that promote digestion, while kale is packed with antioxidants and fiber. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid. Enjoy this nutrient-dense, refreshing treat on a hot summer day.
Avocado Chocolate Ice Pops: Blend ripe avocados, cacao powder, a sweetener of choice (like honey or maple syrup), and a dash of vanilla extract until smooth. Avocado is a great source of healthy fats and cacao is high in antioxidants. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds and freeze until solid. This is a delicious alternative to high-sugar chocolate ice cream.
Coconut Mango Sorbet: Dice fresh mango and mix with coconut milk and a bit of sweetener if needed. Mangoes are high in fiber and Vitamin A, and coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker or in a shallow dish, stirring every half an hour until it reaches the desired consistency.
Berry Greek Yogurt Bark: Mix Greek yogurt with a bit of honey, then gently stir in a variety of fresh berries. Berries are loaded with antioxidants and Greek yogurt is a substantial source of protein. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm. Break into pieces before serving.
Watermelon and Mint Granita: Blend watermelon and fresh mint leaves together. Watermelon is hydrating and mint aids digestion. Freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, scraping it every half an hour to create a light, icy texture.
Banana and Almond Butter Ice Cream: Blend frozen bananas with almond butter until smooth. Bananas are rich in potassium and almond butter provides healthy fats and protein. You can enjoy it immediately for a soft-serve texture, or freeze it for a firmer ice cream.
Kiwi and Honey Popsicles: Blend kiwi and a bit of honey until smooth. Kiwi is packed with Vitamin C and fiber. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.
Strawberry and Basil Sorbet: Puree fresh strawberries and basil with a touch of sweetener if needed. Strawberries are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C, while basil has anti-inflammatory properties. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker or in a shallow dish, stirring every half an hour until it reaches the desired consistency.
