16 Healthy Desserts to Make this Summer

Summer is officially here! I’m not sure what it is about summertime that makes me feel like I need to go get ice cream every day for the next three months. It’s a real problem!

Let’s be honest though, summer just isn’t the same without a nice frozen treat at the end of the day. As I am trying to be more conscious of the food I am putting in my body, this summer I’m opting for healthier dessert options. That’s why I’m letting myself find that happy medium between treating myself and overindulging on sugar. Pureeing and freezing fruit is a great alternative to traditional ice cream!
