18 Delicious, Guilt-Free Smoothies To Replace Unhealthy Desserts

It's the time of year for soft-serve, popsicles, shaved ice and sorbet.

But traditional frozen desserts, although perfect when paired with a hot, sunny day in the park, tend to come with an excess of fat, sugar and calories.

Just as refreshing is a bowl of fruit, but that compromises the delicious texture and flavor of a dessert like ice cream.

Well, we're here to tell you that you can have something sweet, refreshing AND healthy.

Smoothies are the middle ground, and allow for a variety of combinations.

We've rounded up some of our favorites for you to try this summer. You won't even miss dessert.
