If ya love…lemonade 24/7
Chill with…minty waterLemonade is so yummy, but it’s a sugar-filled sip that shouldn’t be downed daily. Instead, chop up some mint leaves and toss them in a glass of ice water. Add a lemon or lime slice. Ah…super refreshing.

If ya love…a super sundae
Chill with…froyo and fruitThe amount of fat in some icy concoctions is unreal (think: the same as two large fries at McDonald’s). Frozen yogurt isn’t exactly health food, but we’re diggin’ a serving of Häagen-Dazs’ Wildberry loaded with tropical fruit for a treat.

If ya love…potato salad
Chill with…cucumber and tomato salad Buh-bye, mayo. Up the vitamin factor with bright tomatoes and ultra-cool cukes. With a li’l cheese and lean meat, you’ve got a super-chill lunch or a delish side for din. Hit girlslife.com for our make-in-a-minute how-to.

If ya love…chips
Chill with…picklesThese salty-meets-crunchy snacks have a slight cooling effect on your bod. Weird, right? They make a snappy sandwich side instead of greasy chips, which can make you feel bloated and so not psyched for swimming.
