It's the height of summer in Israel. On a blistering summer day like today, there's nothing better than enjoying a refreshing treat to cool you down. Here are some of my all-time favorite Israeli popsicles, drinks, and treats.

Israeli-Style Pizza Rolls

Crispy, savory, cheesy, and perfect, the pizza roll takes one of my favorite foods and transforms it into a portable, snack-sized treat. I've been known to grab a handful of these and a few pieces of fresh fruit from the shuk and call it lunch.

Homemade Israeli Bamba

At summer camp, one of our favorite Israeli snacks is Bamba, which we especially enjoy on Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel Independence Day. You can make a delicious version of this poppable, Israeli snack right in your home.
