Yummy Healthy Summer Snacks


To see all the great Works for Me Wednesdays ideas Rocks In My Dryer.

My two year old, Alexandra (see wordless wednesday post) loves popcicles or "pops" as she calls them. I started buying sugar - free but they are more expensive. She doesn't eat enough fruit so instead of freezing juice I started freezing the fruit itself.

She loves the icy consistancy. I do melon balls, peach slices, blueberries. If you want to cut time then canned peach slices will work. I have also bought the fruit already frozen but that's not very frugal.

When freezing, lay fruit pieces on a cookie sheet with waxed or parchment paper. Put in ziplock freezer bag after completely frozen.

We also do yogurt frozen in popcicle molds. If we buy gogurts, I freeze them. They make a great summer snack!

It's just so hot and the children don't seem to eat very much so I try to make the healthy snacks more refreshing.

Works for Me!
