cool summer treats

With school almost out and temperatures rising, sometimes the easiest thing is to fire up the BBQ, throw on some burgers and call it a party. After all, who wants to spend time cooking indoors?

But when you BBQ often, sometimes a get-together loses its special occasion sparkle.

So we’re bringing you three recipes for cool summer treats to make your next party a sweet—and special—one. 

cool summer treats

 

BLUEBERRY VANILLA

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 Tsp. Organic Honey
2 Cups Vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 Cup milk

Steps.

Add yogurt, fresh blueberries, honey and milk to blender and blend until smooth. Fill each frozen treat mold, and freeze until firm. Swap out the blueberries for mango, strawberries, blackberries or raspberries for a sweeter treat.

JELLO PUDDING POPS

If you were a kid in the 1980s, you remember these. Not only are they the easiest treat ever, but you’ll also appreciate savouring the nostalgia.

Ingredients:
1 package instant pudding (chocolate, cookies and cream, banana cream, etc.)
2 cups whole milk

Steps:
Whisk ingredients together for 2 minutes, and fill your popsicle molds. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold, and freeze until firm—usually in five or more hours.

CHUNKY MONKEY FROZEN YOGURT POPS

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla yogurt
3 tbsp. maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
Sliced bananas
Mini chocolate chips

Steps:
Mix all ingredients together, and pour into popsicle molds. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold, and freeze until firm.

What is your favourite cool summer treat?

    Oh yum! Such fresh and healthy ingredients. I think I want to try the chunky monkey – so I get the healthy and a little bit of fun, too!

    A friend bought me a popsicle maker for my birthday a few years ago. I don’t know why I use it so rarely since it’s seriously cool. These recipes are inspiring me to take it out and make the kids’ day.

    It’s been SO hot here in the UK this week and I’ve been looking at ways to keep my little family cool. Definitely going to have a go at making some of these treats 🙂

    Oh boy, you have me craving a Jello pudding pop! I’d have to say my favorite cool summer treat is gelato, but every now and then I like a fruity frozen treat as well. Your recipes both sound perfect and refreshing!
