Fruit Snacks: Are They Healthy?
We all know fruit’s one of those healthy food groups. But that doesn’t mean we can only eat it an natural! Here are some fruit-filled snacks to make your daily dose of fruit a bit more interesting.
Chocolate Kiwi Popsicles
This chocolate-fruit combo isn’t as classic as strawberries and chocolate, but it’s just as good! The recipe just calls for three ingredients (kiwi, dark chocolate, and coconut oil), but we love ours with nuts or coconut flakes sprinkled on top!
Chocolate Covered Fruit
Pick your favorite fruits, dice ‘em up, and skewer ‘em. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate, pop them in the freezer for a few hours, and you have yourself a cool, sweet treat with minimal work.
Yogurt Dipped Ombre Strawberries
Here’s one of our super-simple faves. Trim strawberries, roll them in yogurt, and freeze. This one gets a little fancy with the ombre coloring, but you can skip that step for a quick snack. We love using Chobani’s Vanilla Chocolate Chunk yogurt, or a mixture of plain yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
Yes, you can have your ice cream and eat healthy, too (as long as you define “ice cream” pretty loosely). Simply peel a few bananas, stick them in the freezer, and let them hang out for a few hours, or until solid. Put the frozen ‘nanners in the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth. Finally, add in your choice of mix-ins if you like! Dark chocolate chips, diced strawberries, or a PB swirl are Greatist favorites.
Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
The word “cheesecake” might make this recipe sound healthy but the only ingredients are lemon, Greek yogurt, vanilla, honey, and blueberries. In this version “cheesecake” is actually just the sweetened lemony Greek yogurt mixture which gives the popsicles a creamy texture.
