Chill Out! 10 Cool and Fruity Summer Treats

Summer heat can be tough, especially when the mercury cranks past 100 degrees. So whether you're keeping cool at home or need to chill out after steamy outdoor activities, it can be great to have a few fruity, fun, and, best of all, chilly recipes up your sleeve. These fun summer treats are simple enough that you can make them with the kids. And from designing their own popsicles to creating striped, fruit-flavored ice, kids will have a blast (and maybe learn something too!). Since they're all pretty healthy, you can also feel great about your kids cooling down with one of these nutritious treats.
