- Frozen Yogurt Bites
These little treats are a fantastic way to cool down on hot days. Simply spoon flavored or plain yogurt into a mini muffin tin, add fresh fruits like berries or small pieces of mango, and freeze. Once solid, pop them out and store in a freezer bag. They're perfect for a quick, cooling snack, and you can even sprinkle a little granola on top for an extra crunch.
- Veggie Cups with Hummus Dip
Vibrant, crunchy vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers cut into sticks and served in individual cups with a dollop of hummus at the bottom offer a refreshing snack. These are not only easy to serve but also packed with nutrients and a fun way for your kids to eat their veggies. Store the hummus and veggie sticks in your kiddos Snack Spinner to make veggies at snack time even more fun!
- Watermelon Pops
Slice watermelon into triangular wedges and insert a popsicle stick into each piece. Freeze these watermelon pops or serve fresh. They are hydrating, sweet, and mess-free when frozen, making them an ideal snack for beach days or afternoons in the park.
