Frozen Applesauce – A cool summer treat

Oh how I love my ice cream, especially in summer time!

However, since our toddler has quickly grasped the joys of “rice-cream” as he calls it, we’ve had to limit our stops at the DQ.

Frozen Applesauce – A cool summer treat

Healthy eating habits start early – and we’ve encouraged fruit and veggie noshing from the beginning of his wee little life (avocados were his first “food”!). We’ve found when our son observes us eating healthy fruits and vegetables, he wants to eat them too! And since toddlers snack a lot, we want to provide him nutritious snack options!

For a great frozen treat, you already know I love my Yonanas machine… but if you need something quick and easy – and portable – try throwing a few applesauce cups in the freezer overnight!

The applesauce freezes right in the cup and is easy to scoop out after just a few minutes sitting out on the counter. The texture is like a slushy, and with flavored applesauces, you can provide your kids a healthy, sweet treat during the hot summer months!

True, it will never replace my love of actual ice cream, but it has made a good alternative for us!

We’re fans of Earth’s Best Organic Apple Sauce – it’s perfect for any meal (breakfast we mix with plain yogurt), and has all the nutrients of an actual piece of fruit. The size and package is also great for on-the-go snacks and lunches. And since it contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, we are huge fans of these little cups of appley-goodness! They come in original (plain) and cinnamon flavors!

Eating fruits and vegetables regularly can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and certain cancers; it can also reduce the chance of obesity in children. ~ Earth’s Best
