Summer Popsicles Grandparents Can Make for Little Grands
It’s P-O-P-S-I-C-L-E time! Surprise your little loves with a summer frozen treat.
When I am going for a visit to see my grandchildren, I love to bring them a surprise. I chose popsicle containers on this current visit. It took a little bit of waiting to create a recipe and freeze them, but they were definitely appreciated.
My granddaughters got excited when I showed them what I brought. The toddler didn’t understand what the colorful container was. She thought it was a toy. But when she got to eat the yummy fruity treat, she was delighted!
Nutritious Popsicles
Nutritious treats can really be fun to make for children. When they see you munching on good snacks, they’ll want the same thing you try. If Mommy, Daddy, Grummy and Grumpy (that’s me and my hubby’s grand-names) not only feed our little tots healthy food but EAT them as well, that’s what they will want. Beware, though, when you splurge on the fatty, sugary, fried stuff. Kids LOVE junk food just as much as BIG kids.
Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles is the recipe I’m sharing with you. Imagine how many possible recipes you can come up with by changing up the fruit and yogurt. How about these frozen fruit flavors?
- Orange cream – Blend oranges and yogurt or any other cream you’d like.
- Peach – Fresh peaches with Silk Vanilla Almond Milk
- Vanilla – Vanilla yogurt and Silk Vanilla Almond Milk
- Very Berry – Fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and yogurt
- Chocolate – Make a low sugar treat with sugar-free chocolate powder mixed with 2% milk and a little whipping cream.
