Join Our Ice Cream Social - Make Your Own Sundae

Celebrate the occasion of Make Your Own Sundae Day by hosting an Ice Cream Sundae Party. Take the opportunity to indulge in your favorite ice cream, ice milk, or frozen yogurt while also exploring some delicious and healthy toppings. Here's a selection of wholesome toppings to choose from:

1. Fresh Fruit Medley: Slice up various colorful fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, and kiwis to add a burst of natural sweetness and vitamins to your sundae.
2. Crunchy Granola: Sprinkle some crunchy granola over your ice cream to add a delightful texture and a hint of whole grains.
3. Chopped Nuts: Opt for heart-healthy nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pistachios that provide a satisfying crunch and a dose of healthy fats.
4. Shredded Coconut: Add a tropical twist to your sundae with a sprinkling of shredded coconut, rich in fiber and medium-chain triglycerides.
5. Dark Chocolate Shavings: Indulge your chocolate cravings with a small handful of dark chocolate shavings. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and may have various health benefits.
6. Chia Seeds: Boost the nutritional value of your sundae by adding chia seeds, which are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein.
7. Greek Yogurt Drizzle: Swap out traditional whipped cream for a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt, which adds a tangy twist and some extra protein.
8. Cinnamon Sprinkle: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over your sundae for added flavor.
9. Dried Fruit: Experiment with dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or apricots.

By incorporating these healthier toppings into your ice cream sundae bar, you can enjoy a balance between indulgence and nourishment, making it a delightful treat for everyone at the party.

Sport has the power to change the world; it is a fundamental right, a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development and peace and well as solidarity, and respect. Through our unique individual skills and collective power, we can come together and share creative ways to improve our health and well-being through sport and physical activity - even from the confines of our own homes.
