Here is a fun weekend activity.
The best
fruits, in my opinion, are available during the summer. If you have fresh fruit
on hand, I have the best way to use them! If you have some time go on a
hunt for berries, or go to a local farm and pick your own. If not, go to the
store and get mango, kiwi, strawberries, blackberries or any other type of
nutritious fruit. Put them in a blender with fresh squeezed orange juice. If
your child likes them, try adding some dates (and if they don't--they
won't know :) ). This makes the most yummy and nutritious popsicles! Enjoy them
right after they freeze, or save them for the winter when your child needs
a little extra energy. You can even spoil them by adding some dark chocolate on
the tip. The way my boys love them is:
1 cup
blueberries
1 cup
strawberries
½ cup raspberries
1 ½ cup
orange juice
½ bar of
dark chocolate 70% cacao

could not even wait to have a taste before I could take a picture--that’s how
good they are.
