I made the mistake of checking my weather app this morning and now my summer seasonal depression has kicked in because I saw triple digit temperatures for days.

So to keep cool I’m turning to chilled foods – from smoothies to frozen treats to simple refrigerator salads, these recipes will keep you cool in the heat.

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

Iced drinks and desserts have been around since at least 4000 B.C., when nobles along the Euphrates River built icehouses to take the edge off the Mesopotamian summer heat. Snow, likely used to cool wine, was sold in the streets of Athens in the fifth century B.C., while the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37–67) enjoyed iced refreshments laced with honey. Sources from the Tang dynasty in China describe a sweet drink made from iced, camphor-laced water buffalo milk. (source)
