Is it hot at your house too?
It was 90 degrees here today and it’s only going to get hotter.
Summer is no joke.
Come snack time, cool treats beat out everything else.
So I whipped these frozen fruit and yogurt bites up in just a few minutes for my kids to snack on this afternoon.
They don’t take long at all to freeze either which is a good thing because my kids are not patient people.
As I was eating them I couldn’t help but think that they would be great on top of a salad.
Somebody try that and let me know.
Anyway, to make these for your kids (or yourself) just wash and dry some fresh fruit, then coat in yogurt, add toppings, and freeze on a large plate or sheet pan covered with wax paper until hard.
I added wheat germ, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and a few sliced almonds here and there to the tops of our fruit.
If you’re using a thinner yogurt, you may want to dip them a second time once they’ve firmed up a bit in the freezer so you get a nice thick layer of yogurt. Add your toppings after the second dip.
I used cherries (which had been pitted and cut in half) and red grapes but you could use any fruit you prefer.
Obviously the toppings are up to you as well.
Chopped pistachios and chocolate drizzle over cherries?
Heck yes.
Bring it on summer.
*The chia seeds, hemp seeds, and sliced almonds came from this mix:
Looks delightful!
