Everyone loves a frozen treat on a hot summer day. However, all the freezies, ice cream cones, Popsicles and ice cream bars are full of sugar. Here are some simple frozen treats you can make at home that will get your kids excited about heathy eating.
Grapesicles: Put fresh green or red grapes (or a combo of both) on a skewer or Woden stir stick and freeze on a tray. Once frozen it is sweet, refreshing, frozen treat.
2. Frozen Fruit Smoothy (or ice cream for breakfast): in a blender or food processor, combine frozen banana pieces, frozen fruit, orange juice and milk. Blend until smooth but still thick and serve with a spoon. My kids love this as a breakfast but it makes a great snack or dessert as well.
3. Banana Ice Cream: in a blender or food processor, blend 3-4 peeled frozen bananas, 1-2 tbs of water and a splash of vanilla. Blend until it is smooth but still thick. Serve right away or freeze in individual cups and serve later (allow to thaw slightly if serving from freezer). You can also add cocoa or frozen mango or frozen strawberry to add flavour.
4. Watermelon Popsicles: this is great for the second half of that huge watermelon you picked up. In a blender or food processor, blend seedless chunks of watermelon until puréed. Pour into Popsicle moulds and freeze. Once frozen, enjoy as a refreshing Popsicle
5. #'s 2&3 in Popsicle moulds: take the frozen Fruit Smoothy or Banana Ice Cream and freeze in Popsicle moulds. Heathy, sugar free frozen treats!
