It’s day 2 of an epic east coast heat wave here at DailyBurn HQ. If you are trying to do the best you can in the heat like we are, it can be tempting to grab for a Fla-Vor-Ice and call it good. The problem is that most of the cool and creamy treats that help you deal with temps that creep up into the 90′s are also loaded with sugar and artificial flavors.

With a little imagination and preparation, it is possible to whip up healthy and creamy substitutes for your favorite summer icy treats. Check out 10 of our favorites that we found around the web. Which one should we whip up tonight?
