▲You'll need an ice-cream churning machine, Greek yogurt, some sugar, and vanilla extract to make fro-yo at home, but it's a lot less fussy (and sinful) than regular ice-cream.

▲Mix nonfat Greek yogurt with sugar and vanilla extract until it's all dissolved, then refrigerate for an hour. Pour it into the ice-cream churner and when it's done, put it in a container and let it sit in the freezer for at least two hours.

▲This Obama-approved, Japanese shaved ice dish was made popular in Hawaii. It is super refreshing and can be flavored with several sorts of fruit syrup. You'll need a Kakigōri machine, which can be bought online or in Japanese stores.

▲Banana ice-cream is the easiest and healthiest dessert ever, and works as the basis for many other flavored ice-creams. All you need are peeled bananas, which you'll have to freeze for a few hours or overnight.

▲Once the bananas are completely frozen, pop them in a blender and blend them until they're soft. Add a dash of milk for a good consistency.

▲Combine water and sugar in a pot, bring it to the boil, and reduce the syrup for a few minutes. Let it cool. Mix it with your chopped fruit of choice until it forms a puree. Freeze it for a few hours, then pour it into the machine and let it do shaving magic!

▲This super simple, five-minute recipe is perfect all year round. All you need are peaches (frozen), honey, yogurt and lemon juice. Fruit has never tasted so good!

▲Just add all ingredients to a food processor and blend for about five minutes until creamy. Serve immediately, or store it in the freezer.

▲Combining coconut milk and vanilla creates a flavor explosion that is as delicious as regular ice-cream. You need full-fat canned coconut milk, a sweetener of your choice, a bit of salt, and vanilla extract.

▲Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. If you don't have an ice-cream maker, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, and then blend them in a high-speed blender. Easy!

▲Avocado and ice-cream: delicious when separated, mind-blowing when combined! You'll also need some sugar and cream to make it extra smoother, but the result is so worth it.

▲These chocolate-dipped bananas are super fun to make and you can personalize them to your taste and add any toppings you may like. Cut the bananas into thirds so they're the perfect snack size.

▲Insert a wooden stick into each banana piece, and pop them in the freezer for a while. Melt some dark chocolate. Dip the frozen bananas in the chocolate, then add the toppings you want and let them rest in the freezer.

▲Blend avocado and lime juice into a sweet puree. Combine the sugar and cream with a mixer, add the avocado puree and vanilla extract and whisk it all. Churn in an ice-cream maker and freeze until firm.

▲Breakfast for dessert? Yes, please! A parfait consists of layers of yogurt, fruit, and granola, so this popsicle recipe feels refreshing and indulging, while still being healthy.

▲Just layer vanilla yogurt in popsicle molds, any fruit of your choice, granola, and some honey for extra sweetness. Let them set in the freezer and enjoy!

▲Nothing screams more "summer's here" than this dreamy coconut granita. All you need is full-fat coconut milk, a sweetener of your choice, some water, and a squeeze of lime juice for acidity.

▲Stir 1/4 cup of water with your sweetener until it's all combined, then add the coconut milk and the lime juice. Pour into a container and pop it in the freezer, then scrape every 30 minutes for the next two hours.

▲Blend the frozen bananas until creamy, and fold in the strawbs. Pour the mixture into a container and freeze. When they're properly frozen, cut into squares the same size as the crackers and assemble the sandwiches. Store in freezer bags.

▲In order to make these tasty treats, you'll need ripe bananas, diced strawberries, and graham crackers (or any others you prefer). Also, freeze the bananas for a few hours before you assemble the sandwiches.

▲Mix all of those ingredients along with some honey in a bowl or airtight container, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Top with fruit, seeds, and nuts, and you're ready to go!

▲Overnight oats are super easy to make and there are endless flavor combinations to chose from. The basis of any overnight oats recipe consists of rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk.

▲This summertime treat is a childhood classic made healthy. All you need are four ingredients: full-fat Greek yogurt, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chocolate milk, and vanilla extract.

▲Melt the chocolate chips in a sauce pan over low heat, then add the milk and bring to a simmer while stirring. Let it cool down. Mix in the vanilla extract and yogurt, then strain the mixture into a bowl. Pour into the popsicle molds and freeze for a few hours.

▲Blend all the ingredients in a blender, then put the mixture into an ice-cream maker and churn accordingly. Freeze for a few hours before serving.

▲

Blend the avocados until creamy, then add half of a can of coconut milk and blend. Add the melted chocolate, as well as the rest of the ingredients, and blend until creamy. Pour into a piping bag and freeze for 30 minutes. Pipe into cones while it's still soft.

▲This soft serve gets its creaminess from the avocados, and its sweetness from the coconut milk and honey. You'll also need cocoa powder, milk chocolate, and vanilla extract. The coconut milk and avocados need to be very cold, so refrigerate them overnight.

▲This is a great recipe for all the dairy-free, sweet tooth people out there. You'll need silken tofu, nondairy milk, some sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract for the regular one, but add fresh strawberries for a fun twist.
