2 Quick Healthy Alternatives - Summer Dessert


I cannot wait for the scorching hot days of summer!  They are my absolute favorite!  You always feel like you're working out because you end up sweating all of the time.  
  
Unfortunately, on those hot days of summer, I always crave ice cream and slushies.  These little tricks are really simple and I'm pretty sure most people already do this.  Here are amazing healthy replacement for frozen desserts:

Frozen Fruit

Oranges make the quickest and easiest frozen dessert!  If  you find really sweet oranges and freeze them, they end up tasting like slush orange julius!  They're my favorite!  

Just peel oranges and place them in the freezer for an hour… and presto!  You've got your treat!

Another great option is frozen cherries. My family has done this since I was a little girl.  They aren't the best option because of the seeds, but they taste amazing once you de-pitt them.




DIY Frozen Yogurt

Sorry for the messy and out of focus picture.  
I realized you can make frozen yogurt by mistake, but I'm glad I did!  It's great because you can add whatever you want! 

All you have to do is mix frozen fruit of your choice & non-fat greek yogurt in a blender.  I always use the vanilla greek yogurt and add flax seeds to mine.  You can make any flavor.












These are just a couple of my favorite healthy replacements for summer treats.  What are some of your favorite healthy summertime desserts?
