In accessory for the sweltering heat and humidity, the summer is filled with outdoor activities and farmer's markets. Exactly what a combination! When you like diving right into a vat of ice cream and eating the right path out, consider a few of these healthy treats instead.
- Any number of fresh fruit tarts can spice up a backyard barbecue. Showcase those fresh blackberries and blueberries having a buttery crust and a lemon filling.
- Sorbet has all the yumminess of frozen treats but a smaller amount fat and much less calories; raspberry is one of my top picks.
- Combine two treats in a single and make fruit kabobs drizzled with rich chocolates. Pineapple and strawberries work especially well.
- There is something particular refreshing about citrus in the summertime. Consider using a lemon bar topped with chopped strawberries.
- Watermelon is definitely a success throughout the summertime. Help make your own watermelon-kiwi fruit pops to chill out.
- Any number of fruit smoothies can be produced wonderful that summer goodness. Bananas having a dollop of chocolate ice cream is terrific.
- If you're from the south, you are no doubt acquainted with the perennial favorite – strawberry shortcake. I favor mine with angel food cake instead of pound cake to lighten.
- For something unique, throw your fruit around the grill. You already have it thrilled, so allow it to cook all of your food! Peaches and pineapple rings work very well. If you wish to go all out, soak your apple slices in water with cinnamon sticks first, then top your vanilla ice cream with those caramelized slices.
- If you're in the atmosphere for an adult treat, don't forget to whip up a pitcher of homemade sangria. The combination of dark wine, bubbly citrus soda, and sliced fruit it unbeatable.
