My kids can power through Otter Pops, so here are some other ideas that I find keep them from coming in for that 3rd and 4th Otter Pop. These are all easy snacks that the kids can help make too.
Frozen Yogurt. You can purchase Gogurts but you can also freeze yogurt in those silicone molds, it’s fun and easy. You can also dip fruit in yogurt and freeze it.
Frozen Grapes. My boys love snacking on frozen grapes.
Frozen Fruit Kabobs. My kids love eating anything on a stick. With the fruit being frozen I find the kids eat it slower and it fills them up. Place slices of fruit on a skewer and place on a cookie sheet line with parchment paper.
Freeze bananas and turn it into banana ice cream! No other ingredients necessary just frozen bananas. You could add in things if you like (Nutella, Peanut Butter, Mini Chocolate Chips). Slice the banana, put slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen blend in a Ninja blender or Food Processor. Then place back in the freezer to firm back up.
Homemade Smoothies. My boys love coming up with smoothie ideas and I love sneaking in spinach when I can with frozen pineapple they don’t even taste it.
Homemade Popsicle's. You can use frozen fruits blended with apple juice. You can use yogurt and fruits mixed in. My boys love the juice from canned fruit with a little apple juice in Popsicle's. There are a ton of ideas on Pinterest for homemade Popsicle's.
Sprite & Gummy Bear Popsicle's. This is not the healthiest idea, but fun for at least once during summer. Fill a Popsicle mold with Sprite to the fill line and drop in 5-8 gummy bears. The kids love them.
