Healthy frozen treats kids will love

Frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries, especially those thawed for a minute, develop a perfect, slightly creamy texture and are sweet and tart.

Watermelon slices

Cold, crisp watermelon is even more refreshing when frozen.

Chocolate covered bananas on a stick

There's a reason this is a classic treat: the flavor combination of chocolate, bananas, and peanuts is one of the best. Freeze banana halves until firm (a couple of hours), dip them in melted chocolate, then roll them in crushed peanuts. Store in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Banana ice cream

If you have frozen bananas on hand, you can bake banana bread or make a creamy smoothie. But if you haven't tried making banana ice cream, you're missing out. Simply throw bananas in a blender, and they'll magically transform into a creamy, delicious treat that's also healthy.

Homemade frozen yogurt

For a simple treat, simply freeze yogurt with different flavors in individual cups. Eat them by scraping them with a spoon, like Italian ice, or insert a wooden skewer through the foil before freezing and eat them like ice cream.

Fruit ice with juice

Freeze your kids' favorite juice for a refreshing, vitamin-packed treat. Try mixing pineapple juice and coconut milk for a piña colada-style ice cream, or use something as simple as orange juice.

Frozen fruit platter

It's not just fresh fruit that can be frozen—canned fruit is also great. Try a selection of frozen fresh and canned fruits.

Fruit milk

You've probably already seen how indispensable frozen fruit is in the kitchen! Try making a couple of glasses of fruit milk using berries or peaches.

Grape

As you've probably guessed, grapes also become incredibly delicious after freezing. Any kind will do—red, green, or blue—but use seedless varieties.
