Sufficed to say, one of the best things about summer are ways you can beat the heat in the form of DESSERTS! From ice cream cones and popsicles to smoothies and shakes, summer dessert goodness is tough to resist. But how can you enjoy something sweet without all the added sugar?! Yes indeed. The next time you hear the neighborhood ice cream truck’s familiar jingle, head indoors and make some of these delicious, low sugar treats instead. Your body will thank you!
