Fruity Frozen Summer Sweets
Sure, you can jump in the car and put the pedal to the metal for a delicious ice-cold treat. But what if everything you need is right in your own kitchen? Put in-season summer fruits to use in these healthy frozen treats.
Summer Fruits
- Blueberry pops: All you need is five ingredients, a whirl in the blender, and a few hours in the freezer to provide instant relief.
- Watermelon sorbet: Simply combine that leftover watermelon from your backyard barbecue with a syrup of water, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend it and toss it into your ice-cream machine.
- Frozen lemon dreams: Sometimes you need a little extra chill in your lemonade — in the form of vanilla ice cream and ice, ice, ice.
Tropical Desserts
- DIY pineapple whip: Pipe this Disneyland-inspired dessert through a pastry bag for a soft-serve look.

- Banana pops: Top peeled, horizontally halved bananas on popsicle sticks and top them with chocolate, nuts, coconut flakes, and whatever else your sweet tooth craves.
