Raise your hands if you\u2019re absolutely STOKED about this season\u2019s beautiful weather! I\u2019m sitting here, flailing my arms because I am thrilled with the amount of sun we\u2019ve been getting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our little family is absolutely ready for this year\u2019s summer season. We set up an inflatable pool (that my son adores!). We\u2019ve been taking daily walks and creating pieces of sidewalk chalk art on our driveway. For our family, summer is all about spending time outside, splashing around, and indulging in yummy (and healthy!) kid-friendly snacks. Check out some of the snacks we\u2019ve been munching on lately (<\/strong>psst: some of them use Evive smoothie<\/a> <\/strong>blends, so be sure to use the code FABULOUSHABITS15 for $15 off your next box!<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Frozen Fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my simplest mom hacks – but super effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than going for processed, sugar-filled popsicles and freeze pops, I wash and freeze fresh fruit for many of our afternoon snacks. It\u2019s a quick solution that our family loves. On a hot summer day, nothing is more refreshing than a bowl full of yummy frozen fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Trail Mix Buffet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trail mixes really take me back to my childhood. When I was a Brownie (ie.: Girl Guide), we used to make our own trail mixes for nature walks. The experience always stuck with me and now, I do the same for my son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggest building a \u201cTrail Mix Buffet\u201d for you and your little ones! Set up your kitchen counter with bowls of nuts, granola, raisins, shredded coconut, etc. You can then ask everyone to scoop their own servings so that they can create a personalized trail mix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Banana Split with Evive Nice Cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s summer without indulging in a delicious banana split? Some of my fondest memories are going to the local ice cream shop with my parents and sharing a huge banana split with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u2019ve got a delicious recipe for a healthy, homemade banana split – and it uses Evive smoothies<\/a><\/strong>! How cool is that?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– 1 Azteque wheel<\/a><\/strong> (or your choice of Evive flavour<\/a><\/strong>)
– 2 frozen bananas, sliced
– 3 tbsp almond milk
– 1 fresh banana
– Optional toppings: Canned pineapple pieces, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, natural peanut butter, etc.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

Add smoothie cubes and frozen banana slices into a large bowl and thaw for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to a blender or food processor, followed by almond milk. Pulse\/blend until you achieve a thick, creamy consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut a fresh banana in half, lengthwise and place on your serving plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoop the nice cream into the serving plate, right between your banana halves. Top with desired garnishes like pineapple pieces, chocolate chips, coconut and natural peanut butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Fruit Platter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, we\u2019re all about fresh fruits when it comes to summer snacking. One of our family\u2019s favourites is our take on a fruity \u201ccharcuterie\u201d board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, I put in-season fruits on a large plate, with a small bowl of peanut butter in the center. I have so much fun with the set-up, and it\u2019s pretty interactive for my toddler!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Frozen Fruit Cups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, keeping little ones interested in food involves lots of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My frozen fruit cups are colourful and heart-shaped, so my little guy is always more inclined to snack on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make frozen fruit cups, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– A heart-shaped silicone pan
– 1 \u00bd cups granola
– \u00bc cup natural peanut butter
– 1 wheel of your favourite Evive flavour<\/a><\/strong>
– 240 ml of water
– \u00bc cup of your favourite berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries
etc.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

In a bowl, mix together granola and peanut butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add granola mixture at the bottom of each heart-shaped section of your silicone pan. Pack down and spread it out – these will act as the base of your fruit cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bowl, allow the frozen Evive cubes<\/a><\/strong> and water to melt together. Mix thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evenly pour the Evive smoothie mixture into each section of the silicone pan. Top off with your favourite berries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeze overnight and pop out of the moulds and serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope your family has a fun and healthy summer season! Out of these snacks, which ones do you think will be your kiddos\u2019 faves?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget, if you use code FABULOUSHABITS15, you\u2019ll get $15 off your next Evive box<\/a>! <\/strong>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
