Summertime is a great time to try out some refreshing new snacks on the kids. After a day of running around outside or paddling through the pool, there’s nothing nicer than handing your kid a treat—especially when it’s homemade and healthy!

Here are some of our favorite summer snack ideas for kids. They’re all frozen, delicious, and—most importantly—beneficial for little bodies and minds. Because all the below snacks are frozen, it’s easy to make a big batch, eating some immediately and spreading the rest out over the warm weeks of summer. Try one or all, and let us know what you think on our Facebook page!

Frozen Raspberry Peanut Butter Bites

These frozen treats have undeniably awesome texture, and great flavor to match! Made with apples, dates, raspberries and peanut butter, there’s more than enough filling nutrition to go around.

Creamy Chocolate Avocado Popsicles

Okay, so popsicles don’t clock in at “healthy” very often. These avocado pops drizzled in decadent dark chocolate, however, check that box. Avocados are an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (yes, there are healthy fats), and contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. That said, they can be fairly polarizing—make sure your little one likes avocado before putting in the work for this (well worth it) recipe!

Frozen Yogurt Granola Bites

Greek yogurt seems to be the ingredient of the hour. But it’s no wonder—the stuff is delicious, healthy and easily freezable.

Copycat Trader Joe’s Gone Bananas

While it’s true you can buy the name brand in stores, the fact of the matter is that you’re getting less bang for your buck, and have less control over what goes into these scrumptious little bites. With this recipe, you can choose whatever chocolate you want, and add tasty additions like chopped almonds or coconut flakes!

Here’s the awesome copycat recipe.

Frozen Yogurt Bark

Yogurt and chocolate and coconut, oh my! While most food “barks” are loaded with sugar and fat, this Greek-yogurt based recipe uses fruit and natural sweeteners to create a low-sugar, high-protein bark that’s as easy to make as it is to eat. Careful, parents, or you’ll wind up eating all of these yourself!
