But I am going to ease in with a little summer fun. As a mom, I am constantly trying to figure out ways to get good stuff into my kiddos' bodies. While I allow plenty of sugary treats, I also try to balance that with healthful fruits and veggies. A favorite snack around here is a fruit smoothie. Here is what we love to put in ours (all ingredients eyeballed of course):
Frozen Mango
Frozen Blueberries
Raspberry Kiefer (drinkable yogurt)
Orange Juice
Dash of Cinnamon
Small Squirt of Honey (optional)
Toss it all in the blender, blend for a minute or two and serve.
Judging by the moustaches...I think they like it!
What's your favorite summertime treat?

That sounds delicious! Mangoes are out of season here and blueberries are never affordable, but you've given me a real craving for smoothies. I'll have to see what I can find at the greengrocers tomorrow.
I eat strawberries by the flat during the summer. :) The smoothie sounds delicious. I just made homemade strawberry-mango jam and I was in heaven it was so good.
My kids love smoothies, too. Smoothies are great because you can easily "hide" things in them, like carrot juice! I even juiced some spinach leaves, carrots and lots of apples and they didn't say a word. Just drank it down!
Watergate Salad (aka pistachio fluff). It's such a picnic/bbq type dish to pass that I only really ever eat it in the summer.
chunky monkey straight from the tub of course!! :)
