It’s the week of the 4th of July and the Dog Days of summer are upon us. It’s been in the 90s for the past few days in the Mid-Atlantic area, and I’m taking refuge in cool drinks and frozen treats.
Hot Summer Cool Treats
Whether you love hot summer days or would rather sit in the shade with something refreshing, these cool summer treats are sure to be a hit.

Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake
This mint milkshake is so easy to make at home, tastes way better than a shamrock shake, but is absolutely delicious and such a treat!
Watermelon-Berry Popsicles
You can switch up the fruits that you use in these popsicles – add a higher proportion of strawberries or add a kiwi or some raspberries for a different flavor. The possibilities are endless! I love the lightness (and the flavor) of watermelon and so these will be perfect for a light popsicle snack on hot days.
