Turn your favorite holiday treat into a summer delight with this sweet potato pie smoothie! All you need are fresh sweet potatoes, frozen bananas, vanilla protein powder, and almond coconut milk to create this ideal summer drink.
Just think about it. What could be better than the warmth and deliciousness of a sweet potato pie in the form of a refreshing smoothie? Nothing, of course!
2. Blackberry-Peach Buckle
Blackberries and peaches are a strange combination, but we promise it works! The sweetness of the peaches and the tartness of the blackberries, coupled with a hint of cardamom and confectioners’ sugar for garnishing, come together to create this fun and unusual dessert.
The pie crust is incredibly easy to make, and there’s nothing more enjoyable than arranging the fruit for presentation. Pop the pie in the oven for an hour, let it cool, and enjoy!
3. Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake
When you want a tart, zesty, and refreshing dessert, you can’t go wrong with this pound cake! While frozen blueberries work just as well for this recipe, we recommend picking your blueberries during the summer for extra fresh seasonal flavors.

It’s time to have some spiked dessert fun with mom’s rum balls! Combine vanilla wafers, dark cocoa, confectioners’ sugar, rum, and chopped pecans for a sweet and crunchy treat.
If you’ve got a big sweet tooth, as we do, you can use pancake syrup or real maple syrup for that perfect finishing touch.
5. Low-Carb Strawberry Fluff
