After working so hard to maintain what I like to call the perfect beach bod, summertime snacking can definitely set you back a few pounds. But really, why reach for that regular old bag of potato chips when you could be snacking on these delicious munchies this Summer?

Why not combine my two favorite summertime treats, lemonade and something icy cold? Just blend a little lemonade and ice in the blender for a few seconds and wham cabam, youβve got a lovely little snackeroo. Top with some sliced fruit and youβll be loving your life in the sunshine.

Mmm Mmm Mmm! I love the taste of cream cheese in the summer. Nothing tastes better than some cold cream cheese on a whole grain cracker when youβre craving something a little bit more on the salty side. Throw in a little bit of jelly or a couple of tiny berries and youβve got yourself the perfect sugary, salty treat!

Thatβs right, Jell-o jigglers. Theyβre cold, you can use your fingers to eat them and theyβre easy to make if you donβt mind playing the waiting game. Really, who hasnβt seen a few of these bad boys at a BBQ?

Itβs basically a fruity, healthier version of ice cream so really, I canβt complain about it widening my rear end when I eat it. As always moderation is the key but enjoying a yummy fruit sorbet wonβt kill you. And, you can even spruce it up by putting it in a real fruit bowl! Thatβs just functional and pretty.

Peanut Butter may be loaded with calories, but since you technically burn calories while eating celery, itβs my totally delusional opinion that things get evened out. Just remember once again that moderation is key. But this is the perfect summertime snack for on the go one handed eating!

Cantaloupe, Watermelon and Honeydew balled up together with a sprig of mint really tasteβ¦ amazing for lack of a better word. Melon is light and fruity without being overpowering. Plus, when theyβre all balled up you get all the flavor without any of that messy, watermelon rind smile.

These snacks are a little easier to eat when youβve got baby carrots and cucumber slices but really, any way that you slice it, theyβre delicious. Add a little low-fat ranch dressing and youβve almost got yourself a salad. But even without it, youβve still got one yummy snack.

A little kiwi, some berries, a little melon and maybe even a little banana all thrown together on a stick. Really, snacking couldnβt get any easier or any less messy. Fruit-ka-bobs are the best way to snack in the summertime!
