Now that it’s officially summer and the weather is starting to get warmer I know a lot of my friends are starting to crave that delicious cold treat, ice cream. Except ice cream isn’t the best treat to reach for. Especially when you’re trying to stay in shape for the beach. Below are healthy alternatives that you and your friends could make instead of spending your money and the adding on the calories.

Chocolate Covered Kiwi or Strawberries

Nothing taste more refreshing then chocolate and fresh fruit in the summer. I suggested kiwi and strawberries but you could pretty much pair any fruit you like with chocolate.

Cantaloupe Sherbet

When I think of sherbet I think of the scene from The Princess Diaries where she eats it really quickly and gets a brain freeze. Cantaloupe is only one of the many flavors sold. Sherbet is a healthy alternative to ice cream and taste lovely in the summer.

Blueberry Banana Ice Cream

Before you freak you and ask why I listed ice cream, it isn't actually ice cream. What this is made up of is almond milk and ice (if needed). You put the blueberries and bananas in a food processor which ends up making the ice cream consistency.

Strawberry Cheesecake Pops

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts regardless of the time of year so these popsicles are a great substitute.

Coconut Mango Pops

The combination of the coconut and mango are sure to be a mouthwatering treat.

Chocolate Sorbet

Whether it is chocolate or vanilla you love a good bowl of ice cream regardless of the flavorless. Sorbet is healthier option and very effortless to make. You won't ever remember what ice cream is!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
