No good barbecue is complete without tasty, refreshing desserts. Especially, ones that you can eat guilt free AND serve to the kids. This summer, skip the traditional sugary, calorie laden cakes and cookies and serve something more on the refreshing side! These desserts WILL take some preparation (and some require a freezer to store them in until ready to serve) but they are sure to be a hit at your next barbecue!

1. Fresh Fruit Popsicles– You won’t have a problem getting anyone to eat their fruit for dessert, I guarantee it!

2. Watermelon Granita– A frozen fruit treat!

3. Homemade Vanilla Frozen Yogurt– Tastes like ice cream, but it’s anything but!

4. Avocado Popsicles– The avocado and banana make it rich and creamy, and they are packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats!
