| No-bake desserts to enjoy on the next hot day |
| Ice cream obviously made this list, but it isn’t the only cold dessert in town. You can get creative by making a variety of recipes with refreshing, seasonal ingredients. Find some of our favorite no-bake summer treats below. |
| 🍍 Pineapple banana Greek frozen yogurt: One of the main ingredients in this dessert, pineapple, is high in fiber and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The base also contains Greek yogurt, bananas, maple syrup, and one other ingredient that might surprise you. (recipe) |
| 🍎 Spiced applesauce and cottage cheese parfaits: This might sound like an unlikely combo, but hear us out and give it a try. Each serving has over 31 grams of protein. (recipe) |
| 🥥 Coconut mango ice cream with pomegranate drizzle: A creamy, vegan, frozen treat! It’s low in sugar and carbs, packed with tropical flavors, and simple to make with just four ingredients. (recipe) |
| 🍌 Kefir fruit salad: A classic sweet snack, this recipe adds textural interest and helps keep you full by adding kefir, chia seeds, and sliced almonds. Kefir has some impressive health benefits, too. (recipe) |
| 🥕 Carrot cake bites: These bite-size desserts are made with shredded carrots, cinnamon, coconut, pitted dates, and two other ingredients. For added flavor, you can also roll the balls in extra shredded coconut. (recipe)? |
