Here are 10 healthy snacks to cool you down. –Frozen grapes are the quintessential low-cal, no-fat summertime treat. Place washed grapes on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper so that they aren’t touching each other. Freeze. This also works with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries — heck, any berry! –Watermelon slices. –Fruit kabobs straight out of the refrigerator are a cooling, healthy snack. Some interesting combinations include strawberries and kiwi or pineapple and peach. -Layered fruit and yogurt parfaits. -Homemade fruit pops are so simple to make and contain way less sugar and calories than store-bought Popsicles. Mix unsweetened fruit juice with fruit chunks. Pour into ice cube trays, add wooden sticks, and freeze! –Raw veggies with low-fat dip. -Another frozen treat you can easily (and cheaply!) make at home is a fruit slushie — here’s how. Combine 2 cups ice water, 1 packet fruit-flavored low-sugar drink mix, 2/3 cup sugar (optional), and tray of ice cubes in blender; blend until slushy. –Celery spread with peanut better or cream cheese right out of the refrigerator. -Make healthy ice cream sandwiches: Spread a graham cracker with 1/4 cup sugar-free frozen yogurt and put another graham cracker on top. -When else are you going to eat a frozen chocolate covered banana except in the summer? Melt dark chocolate, dip banana, then pop in freezer. Enjoy! Image via misscrabbette/Flickr
