Summer is finally here and what better way to spend those long, hot days than to enjoy a refreshing and delicious summer snack. These are some top favorite summer foods/snacks people of all ages love to munch on around these times. What are your favorite “summer foods” and are any of these yours?

Watermelon

Ahhhh…a classic. When you think of sitting beside the pool with friends or family and wrapped in your towel after taking a dip in the water, what does an adult usually bring out? Watermelon! A sweet, refreshing, and oh so delicious fruit that is in season all through the summer time. Especially on a hot day is it just nice to sink your teeth in a cold and healthy, which is even better, a piece of fruit which automatically cools you down. Watermelon is also known for keeping you hydrated which is another good thing for a hot day in the summer.

Burgers and Hot Dogs

What is a pool party without burgers and hot dogs on the grill? There isn’t one! One of the best things about summer is when you’re walking down the street and out of nowhere you smell hot dogs and immediately know someone is grilling and throwing a party. It is definitely a statement meal for a pool party or even any outdoor party to attend. It can also be a good way of bonding for people. You can teach your siblings or kids at a young age so they grow up knowing how to grill hamburgers and hot dogs for their own parties.

Acai Bowls

Most people have never tried an Acai bowl before, but it is definitely life changing. That might be a little too dramatic but most people find it to be super delicious. If you have never heard of an Acai bowl before it is basically a thick smoothie and you usually put granola and fruit on top. Though, the best thing about Acai bowls is that you can customize them to be however you like. Starting with the base which is usually just regular Acai but they have other options if you’re not a fan. The toppings vary from granola, honey, coconut shavings, and Nutella, and all different kinds of fruits. A very good summer snack to buy when you’re at the beach.

Seafood / Sushi

Summer is probably the best time to eat fresh seafood because fishermen are usually out on their boats during this time. The weather is nice and it calls for a day to go catch some lobster and salmon and bring it back to the local restaurants. For those who live in Lindenhurst, the restaurant BayVue is a good example because it is right on the water and gets their seafood everyday fresh off the boat. Sushi is also some peoples favorite food so when the fish is good the whole thing is just good.

Ice Cream

Ice cream doesn’t even need an explanation because it is just THE go to snack people want in the summertime. It’s true! When you’re hot and just need something cold your brain immediately goes to ice cream. Brain freeze or not it is probably one of the best desserts out there. Ranging in so many different flavors and new ones coming out each year. And the toppings are endless with Oreo’s, rainbow sprinkles, gummy bears, caramel sauce, and more. You can get a cone or bowl, even a sprinkle bowl if you want to get fancy. Ice cream parlors are buzzing with the amount of customers they get in the summer and honestly who’s to blame them?
