Healthy Summer Snacks for Today’s Modern Family!
I was asked by my friend Diane at Today’s Modern Family to share some healthy summer snacks and here is what I thought would be fun! When you are done watching, please be sure to check out the TMF website at:
Summer is upon us and the warm or hot weather prevails. The kids are home from school and if yours are like many, they seem to be perpetually hungry. Here are some fun and healthy snacks to get them going and enjoying the summer sun!
A frozen, strawberry lemonade is perfect to cool off and can be made in a drink mixer. This is boosted by the use of Torani syrups and boy is this yummy! Reminds me of an Eegees from when I was growing up in Tucson, Arizona! A definite must try!
Next up is a layered yogurt parfait filled with granola and fresh fruit! A nice option for breakfast, lunch or a snack and a nice sub for an ice cream dessert!
I also share with you how I flavor up plain or vanilla yogurt using what I have on hand. Have been doing this ever since a family friend from Canada taught me how when I was 13 years old on a family camping vacation to the Columbia Ice Fields!
Next up frozen grapes! That’s it, grapes that are frozen, but kids love them!
Last but not least a homemade, healthy chocolate, granola coconut drop. Full of healthy goodness of coconut oil, cocoa powder, your favorite granola with or without dried fruit and flaked coconut a bit of vanilla and salt to round out the flavors and a bit of honey to sweeten it all up. I promise you and your kids are going to love this one. Just scoop and put in the freezer to set.
I hope you give these fun and healthy summer snacks a try and I hope you love them!
Happy Eating!

My new favourite Chanel. Hi from Australia.
My daughter loves frozen grapes now!
I love frozen grapes! Folks sleep on frozen grapes.
Healthy…?
My mom had the same blender you have and last week i was making a smoothie and it started smoking so i throw it in the trash and i guess we will get a ninja. I am surprise it blended that ice cause i had small sized ice.
Great Job!! thanks for making these snacks.Great ideas. some time the best ones have been around for so long.. they get forgotten like the grapes I feel so bad for Rick when he is forsted to taste every thing…..
GREAT VIDEO NOREEN !!! xoxox
Noreen these healthy snacks look awesome, but I especially can't wait to try the chocolate granola drops. My granddaughter is severely allergic to peanuts, so she can't have the traditional version of these which call for peanut butter. It will be so nice to make these & take them over for her & her twin brothers. What a great treat! As always thanks for your great recipes!
Love love love these ideas Noreen! Thank you so much for supporting Today's Modern Family!
Hi Noreen I love the granola snack idea as well as the frozen lemonade idea. We are a blended family and I think it's great that you shared resources for blended families.
You're right about the yogurt snack, I do know about it, but never remember it. I will try the chocolate snack without the coconut. It looks yummy! I store coconut oil in the refrigerator. Is that appropriate? Or can it be stored in the pantry?
I love frozen grapes
Yum!
I just made the strawberry lemonade smoothie I only had
Country time powder so I use
A scoop of that. My thirteen year old son said it was AMAZING. Thanks for sharing.
I could do without chocolate for the rest of my life.
Can't wait to try the lemonade! It's so hot here in Texas…..
Great ideas! Love your channel..
