What’s In Your Freezer?
By July 8


An icy treat can really hit the spot after a hard workout on a hot day. But opening your freezer to find it stocked with ice cream, sugary popcicles, and TV dinners can be a bummer if you’re trying to get healthy.

Luckily, you can be proactive and change this unhealthy-sight by always keeping healthy foods in full view. Here are some tricks and tips to keep your sight healthy in the most sought out location of your kitchen during the sweltering summer months–the freezer!

• Revamp your frozen section by keeping unhealthy stuff out of sight. Because, let’s face it, if that tub of Chunky Monkey is staring you in the face you’re more likely to grab a spoon and dig in.
• Keep healthier treats at eye-level.
• Freeze your fruit. Frozen fruit is great because you can eat it by itself or add it to another snack, like yogurt or cereal. Fresh grapes, blackberries, blueberries and other bite-sized fruit or berries are not only tasty, but stay fresh longer than the raw stuff. Wash and dry them well, then place them on cookie sheets so they freeze individually.
• If you’re an ice cream girl at heart, try a healthier options like Skinny Cow Ice Cream or Edy’s Slow Churned Ice Cream. WebMD voted both brands two of the best light ice cream choices on the market, and with flavors like Skinny Cow’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich and Edy’s Raspberry Chip Royale to choose from, you can’t go wrong!
• Stock your fridge with sugar-free popsicle and fudgesicles. You’ll satisfy your sweet tooth without any cavities! Or, make healthy popsicles at home using foods you have in your kitchen,

What’s your favorite frozen summer snack?
