Cool Snacks for a Hot Summer
by: Deborah Shelton
Beat the heat with these cool summer treats!
Mouse Popsicles
It’s not what you’re
thinking! The name refers to the size of the popsicle-not
the
contents.
Wash a bowl of seedless grapes, and then set the grapes
in the freezer for about an hour. Poke colored toothpicks
into the grapes to serve.
Juice Pops
Summer
isn’t complete without homemade
juice popsicles. Simply fill a popsicle mold or an
ice tray with your
favorite fruit juice. Cover the ice tray with clear plastic
wrap and poke a toothpick through the plastic into each
square. Place the tray into the freezer until the popsicles
are frozen solid.
Frozen Monkey Treats
Here is a healthy snack that your kids will go bananas
for! Peel a banana and cut it in half. Insert popsicle
sticks into the cut ends. Dip the bananas into yogurt
or melted chocolate, and then roll the bananas in chopped
nuts, crushed cereal, or coconut shavings. Place the
bananas on a small waxed paper-lined baking sheet and
set the sheet into the freezer for an hour or so. Fun
to make and even more fun to eat!
Fruit Fizzy
Don’t plan your summer party without this refreshing
drink. Pour one can of Sprite (it doesn’t have
caffeine) into a blender, along with small ice cubes.
Add several large strawberries, a handful of blueberries,
or other favorite fruit to the mix. Blend the mixture
until it has the texture of a slush. Pour into a glass
and garnish with a cherry on top.
