"Watermelon!
I cut it into cubes and keep it in a big
bowl in the fridge. Cold,
nutritious, and delicious!"
~ Anne Marie
"We
make lindys for our favorite cool snack.
All we do is freeze grape juice in ice
cube trays. When they are almost frozen,
poke a toothpick through them and eat
them later like a cool, high antioxidant
snack." ~ Katy
"Here is a good use for
leftover buttermilk. Take about 2 cups
of berries, puree, and press through a
fine mesh sieve. Add 2 cups of
buttermilk and 1t. vanilla. For the
sweetener add either 1/2 c. honey or
1/2-1c. sugar. Mix well and
chill in freezer for 20 minutes. Once
chilled put in your ice cream freezer
and freeze according to manufacturer's
instructions. Yummy!" ~

"I
have made home made frozen yogurt
popsicles before that are healthy and
very tasty. We can play with the flavors
to make some that aren't found in the
stores and they are made with lower
sugar, real fruit chunks, fruit juice,
and yogurt. They are easy to say 'yes'
to because then they work within giving
my kids a nutritious boost during the
day! We also have a Turkish recipe my
husband makes for a Lime-Celery salad.
It is a tiny bit sweet from yogurt,
delicious, and very refreshing even
though it is not a frozen
concoction!" ~ Melissa in MD
"Our
current favorite is this: Put
1/2 a can of fruit juice (grape or
apple is best), 1 or 2 fresh or frozen
bananas, and some berries or canned
fruit in the blender and whirl. We
pour into ancient Tupperware
popsicle molds that my mom and I used.
An alternative would be to pour into
ice cube trays and insert toothpicks
when slushy, or Dixie cups with
popsicle/craft sticks. This is
cooling, nutritious, and
scrumptious!" ~ Robyn
