It’s that time of the year. The temperature is rising, schoolwork is accumulating and motivation is dropping. The yearning for summer is growing every day, but sadly, there are five weeks of the semester left.
There is a way to get in the summer mood: summer snacks! Here are our recommendations for some of the best treats to get you in a summer state of mind, even when you still have tests to study for and research papers to write.
1. Popworks
Ah, Popworks. This popsicle shop has so many options. There are fruity and creamy flavors, and you can even get a popsicle dipped or drizzled with chocolate. Try a classic strawberry or blueberry pop or a fun flavor like key lime pie or espresso.
Fun fact: the espresso pop is made with Spencer’s Coffee.
2. Chaney’s Dairy Barn
This dairy farm has some of the best ice cream in town. The ice cream here is so cold and creamy, and it’s sure to get you in the summer mood. We recommend the cookies and cream or a fun, fruity flavor like peach.
3. Bruster’s Real Ice Cream
Who wouldn’t want even more ice cream? This outdoor ice cream shop has so many flavors to choose from. Slip into a summer vibe with flavors like orange dreamsicle or mango!
4. Stakz Frozen Yogurt
Ice cream not doing the trick? Try Stakz, a local frozen yogurt shop. Frozen yogurt is a healthier alternative to ice cream. With frozen yogurt, you can mix flavors and add as many toppings as you want, so get creative and get ready for summer.
