Surprise, surprise it’s another hot summer in Acadiana. Although the season is great for traveling, swimming, barbeque, and other summer sizzlers, sometimes them temps can get you down. If you need a quick pick-me-up to cool off, consider grabbing an ice cold treat at one of these local shops:

• Smoothies are both an excellent way to cool off and to get some much needed nutrients. Stop by Fit Blendz for delicious fruity and sweet smoothies. You’ll also find nutritional and healthy sandwiches, wraps, and salads. A+!

• Nothing says summertime like cold, sweet ice cream. Professor Bob Beans Coffee Bar & Ice Cream Lab gives you WOW factor ice cream and an entertaining experience as you watch your ice cream get flash frozen with liquid nitrogen at the fascinating ice cream lab. What our pioneers didn’t know…

• Grab a cold-pressed juice for a summer treat that’s both delicious and nutritious. Tribe Collective sells the amazing Emerge Juices that will give you a health boost AND leave you feeling incredibly refreshed. Interested in how this local business got its start? Read the story here.
