7 Frozen Treat Recipes that are sure to keep you cool this summer.

What is summer without a little sand, water, and of course ice cream? Frozen treats on a hot day that cool you down and feed the soul. However, the truth is dairy is not everyone’s friend. There have been many summer lake days that my child would say they felt sick and needed to lay down after enjoying a big ice cream cone at the beach. As a mom, I wanted to find a way for him to enjoy the frozen treats of summer without feeling sick and ruining his day after. Food should energize you and make you feel amazing, not laying in bed sick. 

I began to play around with a few recipes in the kitchen. There were many “failed” attempts that my kids would take one bite and say they did not like it (my toughest critiques always!). However, after some trial and error I began to produce frozen desserts without dairy and with minimal to no added sugar that not only made them happy but I too enjoyed them so much more than conventional desserts. I am sharing with you 7 frozen treat recipes I love to make for my family on a hot day. Enjoy!

10 Quick & Easy Back-to-School Healthy Lunchbox Ideas

Cinnamon-Sugar Baked Apple Chips

These chips are crunchy, sweet, and totally addicting. The cinnamon-sugar topping is optional too, for an everyday snack I will just bake the apples plain or with a little cinnamon, so you can choose to omit the sugar entirely. It is important that you slice them thin, if they are left too thick then they turn mushy and will be in your over for hours and hours. A little trick is once the time is up I actually don’t remove the sheet to cool on the counter but turn the oven off and let them cool down as the oven cools down. This ensures they are nice and crunchy.
