Instructions
Peaches and Cream Yogurt Popsicles
- Use a butter knife to cut the peach in half and remove the pit. Cut the peach into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Add the peach to a small bowl.
- Add the yogurt and stir to combine.
- Add honey or maple syrup to taste. You'll want it to be a bit sweet.
- Stir well to combine.
- Add the mixture to a popsicle mold and then add a stick to the center.
- Freeze until frozen through, 12 hours or overnight.
- Run the outside of the popsicle mold under warm water to help release the popsicle.
Easy Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
- Open the small container of yogurt, or if you are dishing from a larger container, place about 1/2 cup of yogurt in a small bowl.
- Top with granola and fresh or frozen berries.
- You can drizzle the top with a little honey or maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter.
- Eat right away so that the granola doesn't get soggy.
3 Ingredient Creamy Blueberry Smoothie
- Get a parent's help for this recipe since you are using a blender.
- Add the banana, blueberries, and yogurt to the bowl of your blender.
- Blend on high speed until well combined and smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend, stop and add 1/4 cup or so of water to help loosen up the mixture. Return the lid and blend again until smooth.
- Serve right away while still cold.
Yogurt Ranch Dip
- In a small bowl add the yogurt and ranch mix. Stir to combine.
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional ranch mix if needed.
- Serve with your favorite vegetables.
Healthy Apple Dip
- Add the yogurt, peanut butter, and honey to a small bowl.
- Use a fork to combine the ingredients well.
- Dip sliced apple into the mixture.
Notes
- Each of these recipes are written for a single snack serving so double or triple the recipes if you need more.
- Prep some of the ingredients in advance so they are ready to go, such as homemade granola, homemade ranch seasoning, and cut up the vegetables.
- Note that a blender is needed for the popsicle and smoothies recipes so be sure that your kids are old enough to handle that piece of equipment (or help them with that part).
- Nutrition information can't be calculated for all 5 recipes in one recipe card. If you need to know that information, you can plug it into an app on your own.
