The summer is always brutally hot here in Florida and all I want is to cool off with an icy cold, frozen treat. I’ve been trying to cut out excess sugar from our diet, so ice cream and processed snacks are definitely out.

These fresh watermelon popsicles are naturally sweet and loaded with juicy watermelon that has been blended and frozen into the perfect healthy summer snack. This watermelon popsicle recipe couldn’t be any simpler to make, I hope you give it a try!

Dairy-Free Cashew Cream Broccoli Salad

This easy vegan broccoli salad (no mayo!) is super creamy, crunchy, and so delicious! It’s the perfect side dish to bring to picnics, cookouts, or parties! Vegan and gluten-free.

One of our favorite places to go out for a quick, healthy vegan dinner is Sweet Tomatoes. We love the salad bar, soups, and baked sweet potatoes! Have you tried the broccoli salad that they have on the bar? We used to love it before we were vegan!

I wanted to recreate the creamy broccoli salad at home without using the mayo, sugar, and vegetable oil that is in the Sweet Tomatoes version. It turned out so delicious and it’s so easy to make! You’re going to love the creamy cashew sauce, crunchy broccoli, and all the toppings, it’s sooo tasty.

I used creamy cashew sauce instead of mayo like most other recipes for broccoli salad call for. It’s just as creamy and flavorful, and in my opinion, it tastes even better!

It’s the best vegan broccoli side dish to serve with vegetable burgers, sandwiches, or roasted veggie wraps. It’s also great to bring to summer picnics (because you don’t have to worry about the mayo going bad while it’s unrefrigerated), BBQ’s, and family events.
