I've been on the hunt for some healthy summer treats for the kids and we've found a couple of favorites I thought I'd share ...
1) Frozen chocolate peanut covered bananas (madeline loves to help make these)
Use very ripe bananas and cut them into slices
Dip them into a mug of chocolate syrup for a thin chocolate coating
Dip them into finely chopped peanuts
Freeze and enjoy
2) Fruit Juice Popsicles
We buy 100% fruit juice (our favorite is Treetop Apple Grape juice)
Pour it into some popsicle molds (we found some great ones for $3 at Bed Bath and Beyond)
Freeze and enjoy
3) Frozen grapes or any other fruit (freezing them makes them into a much desired treat in our house! Yesterday Madeline enjoyed eating frozen blackberries)
4) Fruit Dip
1 large tub of strawberry yogurt
1 large tub of cool whip
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
Mix together and set in the fridge overnight. The mixture gets fluffy and so tasty

Sounds great! We're going to try the bananas for sure.
A friend of mine buys large tubs of low-fat yogurt on sale/clearance, dishes the yogurt into her popcicle mold, and freezes it. Her little ones love the yummy popcicles, and have no idea they're having a healthy snack! I imagine you could add seasonal fruit (strawberries, peaches, etc.) as you wish.
great ideas!
here's one we like: spread a thin layer of yogurt(any flavor) on a graham cracker & top with another graham cracker to make a sandwich...wrap in plastic wrap or place in a ziplock bag and freeze!
