Using a chunky almond butter gives these a little crunch in every bite. Don't forget to refrigerate these for the best texture. Get the recipe here.
*The fourth ingredient is vanilla (...and the fifth is technically sprinkles), but this looks too good to pass up! It also doesn't require an ice cream maker. Here's the recipe.

Um, yum. If you love thin mints, make a double batch and freeze half! These aren't exactly low-fat or low-sugar, but you at least have some control over the sugar and the fat because you can pick your own ingredients. For example, if you had a favorite "healthyish" store-bought chocolate cookie, you could definitely substitute it here. Here's the recipe.
If you were willing to up the sugar content, you could substitute a fruit juice for the water (or just add a little honey), but if your blueberries and pineapple are sweet, you'll be fine. Get the recipe here.
You blend up the peanut butter and bananas, then smudge them on Graham crackers and freeze. Here's the recipe.

The coating is the powder from gelatin dessert mixes (without the added sugar), which is where the color comes from. Dipping each grape does take some time, but it could be a good summertime afternoon activity for bored kids. Get the recipe here.
To "melt" your peanut butter, simply dish out what you want to use and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Get the recipe here.
