2 Ingredient Orange Sorbet / Sherbet
It doesn’t get much easier than this recipe from Dani’s Healthy Eats. Toss frozen oranges and coconut yogurt in a blender, and scrape down the sides until smooth. Top with whipped cream or sprinkles and enjoy! If you want to go high protein, try Greek yogurt or add in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Nice Cream Cups
You can’t go wrong with peanut butter, bananas and chocolate chips – talk about a triple threat! This simple dessert from Colleen’s Healthy Life is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Slice bananas into coins and freeze on parchment paper. Blend the coins, fold in chocolate chips and pour into silicone muffin liners. Drizzle with peanut butter and freeze again until firm. Yum!
Skinny Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Treats
Gather graham crackers, light frozen topping, low fat vanilla yogurt and fresh or frozen strawberries to make this guilt-free treat from Laughing Spatula. With such delicious ingredients, you won’t believe each piece is less than 100 calories! Not a fan of strawberries? Try blueberries, peaches or even pineapple.
Watermelon Popsicles
Is there anything more refreshing than chilled watermelon in the summertime? This recipe from Love and Lemons takes it one step further with popsicles. All you need is watermelon, lime juice and a blender. Once smooth, pour into popsicle molds and add sticks if needed. Freeze four hours or overnight.
Frozen Lemonade
Take homemade lemonade to the next level with this idea from Simple Everyday Recipes. Five ingredients is all you need – simple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, water and ice. Blend and make it as sweet as you’d like. This recipe can be easily modified and turned into a cocktail. Cheers!
Frozen Ice Cream Dessert Pizza (Treatzza Pizza)
This no bake treat from The Recipe Rebel has everything you could ever want in a dessert pizza. We’re talking crushed Oreos, fudge sauce, softened ice cream and whatever toppings you’d like (M&M’s, Peanut Butter Cups, etc.). If it looks or sounds familiar, that’s because it’s a copycat version of Dairy Queen’s Treatzza Pizza! This would definitely be a fun one for the kids to make.
