Frosty Summer Treats

Summertime is here and that means it’s time to enjoy some ice-cold frosty treats. Something delicious that will cool you off after playing in the hot sun or spending the day at the beach. And what better kind of frozen treat then one you make yourself?

All of these chilling desserts or snacks are simple to make. Some will be easier to make if you have a blender. Our family recommends the In2uitive Blender by Oster. It is very kid (and parent) friendly and easy to use.

So gather up your friends, get out the pool and share some slushy treats.

• 1 1/2 cups (c.) Apple Juice
