I’m excited to share over 2 dozen healthy frozen treats to cool you off this summer – I hope you enjoy!
One of my favorite things about the warm weather is cooling off with a delicious dessert. We just had a heat wave in Philly that had temperatures soaring to the mid-90’s, so I was clearly in desperate need! I’m Team Ice Cream all the way, but I also enjoy a good sorbet, frozen yogurt, or water ice (it’s a Philly thing – check out Rita’s!). If it’s cold and refreshing, I’m good to go!
What are your favorite cool treats? I’m so grateful that some of my favorite healthy living bloggers are sharing their unique recipes for healthier ice cream, frozen yogurt, popsicles, and so much more! Many of the recipes are dairy-free, gluten-free, or made with ingredients you could never have imagined, but they look amazing! If you try any of these, let me know!
I’m linking up with Deborah and Sarah for Meatless Monday, Annmarie and Dixya for Meatless Monday, Nicole, Jen, and Michelle for Wild Workout Wednesday, and Farrah and Esther for Foodie Friday!

Cool Off with These 30 Healthy Frozen Treats
I’m still a novice in the kitchen, but it’s been my goal this year to step things up and make more of my meals and snacks from scratch. So why not extend that goal to desserts? These delicious, creative, and guilt-free desserts that I’ve rounded up are made with just a few ingredients and range from fruity to chocolately! If any of these recipes catch your eye, why not try to duplicate it in your kitchen? I’ve been dying to make “nice cream” for years and my popsicle molds are just waiting to be taken out of the box. With the temperatures rising, it’s the perfect opportunity to get to work! I hope just some of the photos alone will inspire you!

Thanks for contributing, Christina! 🙂
Andddddddd you just gave me my breakfast, lunch and dinner options for the entire SUMMER 😉 hahahha! YUMMMM!
Excellent! Thanks, Gigi! 🙂
A very timely post as we recover from the mini heat wave, lol. Is it bad that looking forward to food or a cold treat gets me through my summer runs?
I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all, lol! Yeah, this crazy heat has been out of control…a cool treat makes all the difference!
What a yummy round up! I can’t wait to try some of these. Thanks for including some of my recipes 🙂
Thanks for contributing, Nicole!
Give me all the popsicles! I will be checking these out thanks
Hehe, I know they are so good, right? Especially when made with real fruit!
If I’m in a pinch and really want something cold, I’ll sometimes whip up “froyo” with some frozen bananas… But I’m pretty lazy so I usually just buy mine at the grocery store, haha. I’m totally pro Halo Top!!
I’ve never tried to make my own froyo…sounds so good! I finally tried Halo Top for the first time and I can see why it’s so popular!
Oh God, I’m sitting here feeling really hungry (my husband is cutting the lawn) & now I’m hungrier!
This is a great list & I’m sure I’ll be checking out a few things on it!
I’m so glad you liked this post, Judy! 🙂
These all sound awesome! I love dessert, but int he summer I almost prefer cold “frozen” drinks…or frozen strawberries. But, rest assured, I will be checking these recipes out 😉
I hope you found something you liked! Frozen drinks are great – anything to help stay cool!
Everything looks amazing. Now that it’s finally hot around here I can actually enjoy one of these delicious desserts….I think I’ll start with a popsicle 😛
