Summer's here! That means sweaty little kids running around the house.
Luckily we have plenty of outdoor water "things" for them to do, but when it comes to snack time you just need something cool.
This week we brought out the popsicle molds (got mine at Ikea) and dove right in making our own fruit and yogurt popsicles!
Any regular yogurt (flavor of your choice) will do.
I used fresh strawberries and blue berries for the add ins.
I divided the ingredients for my kids, because I knew there would be a fruit and yogurt blowout if they had to share out of one container.
Hattie decided she wanted to eat most of her ingredients first..
Once the molds were full..I popped them into the freezer for a few hours. That's why the kids are in their pajamas..we made them in the morning so that they could eat them after lunch.
Test them after a few hours, if the stick slides out just put them back in the freezer for a while.
They turned out awesome and the kids LOVED them!
YAY for healthy frozen summer treats!
What are your favorite summer time snacks?
A couple things I would suggest is that you always use whole fat options. Low fat dairy products by law have to have synthetic vitamins added that your body cannot process. Also it is best to have whole fat options for little ones since their brains are growing so rapidly and it takes good fats to do that. The other suggestion is to use plain yogurt and stir in honey or agave.
