Will this summer heat ever give us a break! It has been so hot where I live we are still able to enjoy the swimming pool, which we usually close up after Labor Day. We also are still eating our refreshing, cold ice cream bars! Here are my family’s favorite treats for hot and humid weather.

They are low in calories and especially delightful! (Especially the chocolate chip cookie dough one!) But there are many flavors you can choose from. Which one is your favorite?

These are really neat. They come already mixed - all you do is add apple juice and blend! For a different taste sensation, try your favorite juice blend, such as berry mix, or cherry.

Yogurt is another low calorie choice for those watching the waistline. Not only low cal, but really tasty! Flavor choices are as broad as the ice cream flavors and many public ice cream stands now serve frozen yogurt as well as ice cream.

Snickers - need I say more? The first time I tasted one of these treats it was wintertime. But I have been eating them ever since. If you do not like Snickers, there are other candy bar flavors, such as Reece’s. Yummy!

My son loved these because they are smaller and come in neat shapes. I loved them because they are not as messy as a regular popsicles! Which flavor does your child like best?
I will be happy when cooler weather settles in and I can pull out my snugly sweaters and house shoes. But until that day finally arrives, I’ll keep myself, and my kids, cool with these fabulous cold treats. What about you? What treats keep you cool in the shade?
