Creamy Tropical Fruit Slushies

Slushies are an ideal cool summer dessert because they can combine tons of flavors into one partially frozen unit. One of the best parts about a slushie is choosing what fruits you want in it.

Whichever fruit you decide on, these fruit slushies are guaranteed to be equally refreshing as they are delicious.

Jam packed with lots of fruit, this smoothie tastes exactly like summer in a cup! Fresh pomegranate juice and orange juice provide a perfect amount of tanginess to make you feel like you are relaxing at the beach.

Banana Fudgsicles with Almond Milk

To round off our list of cool summer desserts, we had to throw in something chocolaty! The yummy chocolate flavor in these fudgsicles comes directly from our creamy and rich Chocolate Almondmilk! Bananas and chocolate is an iconic duo and these fudgsicles are no exception! Our secret to making these the most delicious banana fudgsicles you will ever have, is in the added ¼ cup of almond butter. It adds the right amount of cream and consistency that you want.

Pro tip: Banana also goes extremely well with vanilla! Instead of chocolate, try using our Vanilla Almondmilk for a banana and cream inspired frozen treat!
