Smoothie Bowls- 

One frozen treat to keep you cool this summer is a smoothie bowl, which only takes about five minutes to complete. For this recipe, you will need one cup of frozen mixed berries, one peeled banana, two to three teaspoons of your milk of choice and any toppings of your choice. Start by blending the frozen fruit and banana on low for one minute. Then, blend in milk until the smoothie has reached your desired consistency. Finally, add some granola in your bowl and pour the smoothie on top. Feel free to add your favorite toppings! 

 

Strawberry Lemonade- 

When you need a sweet and refreshing drink this summer, try strawberry lemonade. This recipe calls for one pound of strawberries, four lemons, one-third cup of granulated sugar, two to three cups of water and ice. Begin by juicing the lemons in a blender, then add sliced strawberries, water and sugar. Blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined, then strain the juice into a pitcher. Once this is done, add ice or lemon/strawberry garnishes to complete your lemonade. 

 

Avocado Toast- 

If you are craving something creamy, crunchy and salty, avocado toast is the perfect snack to make. For this recipe, you will need bread, one avocado, one egg and salt. Begin by toasting your bread to your liking, then mash your avocado on a separate plate. Once this is done, spread your avocado paste on your toast and add a pinch of salt. To spice things up, add more toppings! Tomatoes or bacon are popular contenders. 

 

Yogurt-covered blueberries- 

You can never go wrong with yogurt-covered blueberries; not only are they healthy, but these are the best treats to end your day off. For this recipe, you will need three cups of blueberries and one cup of blueberry-flavored greek yogurt. Start by prepping a baking sheet with wax paper, then spear blueberries on toothpicks to dip them into the cup of yogurt. Once all your blueberries are fully covered and placed on your baking sheet, remove the toothpick and place them in the freezer overnight. When the blueberries are fully frozen, gently peel them off the baking sheet and enjoy!
