Summer Time Treats
July 22nd, 2010
Yesterday I asked the question on Facebook if people would share their favorite summer time treats. Many of the responses were the same or similar to what I would choose as my own favorite: watermelon, strawberries, rasp and blueberries, peaches, nectarines, ice cream (preferably home-made) and the list goes on.
Several people commented that they love McDonald’s Ice Cream cones this time of the year, and I’d have to agree with them. Not only do they have built in portion control because you’re getting one serving, but the calories and sugar are far less than some of the other popular ice creams out there, so it’s virtually guilt free.
Another one of my summer favorites has become the Mocha Frappuccino Light from Starbucks. I seriously consider it to be bliss in a cup and could drink them every day. I recenly found a similar recipe on the Coffee-Mate website, so I’m going to be trying it out soon.
The picture to my right is another one of my summer time favorites- It’s fresh raspberries, Fage 0% Fat Greek Yogurt sweetened with a Vanilla Splenda stick, a little muesli and a couple of chopped walnuts. It’s delicious. The only thing that could make it better is if I’d frozen the raspberries first, making it an extra ‘cool’ treat.
Now that I’ve shared some of MY favorite summer time treats with you- I’d love to know what YOURS are. Feel free to comment away and share with me.
Looks like great stuff to me. One of my favorote summertime treats is fresh garden tomatoes. I could eat those until I get sick!!!
My brother is overwhelmed with Blueberry bushes so I have to help him pick them from time to time.
I’m on a diet so I only wish I could have Ice cream. I have to watch it because certain foods send me in to fits of cravings…
Love,

I try not to eat ice cream either Bobby- for the same reason. Some things I know better than to even think about eating.
