Summer time with a preschooler means lots of days outside in the heat. After playing in the hot sun, your preschooler is sure to enjoy a cool treat.
Watermelon Slush
Toss approximately six cups of sliced and seeded watermelon into a blender cup and puree. Store the puree in the freezer overnight and pull it out before heading outside to play. Allow it to soften a little and then mush it with a fork before serving it into individual cups for individual watermelon slushes everyone is sure to enjoy!
Frozen Grapes
This cold treat is so simple and yummy you will be wondering why you haven’t tried it before! Wash and slice grapes before placing them into small zipper bags. Toss the bags into the freezer for several hours or overnight. You now have individual baggies of grape flavored popsicles that are both healthy and hydrating.
Fruit Smoothies
Chop up your preschooler’s favorite fruits and toss into a blender cup. Add a spoonful of greek yogurt and a splash of milk or juice and blend. For added sweetness, add a drizzle of honey before blending. If you’re feeling extra sneaky, add a few spinach leaves or other vitamin rich veggie before blending.
Ice Cream in a Bag
For this cool treat, you will need (for each serving): a quart zipper bag, a gallon zipper bag, ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup half-and-half, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, approximately 1 cup of ice cubes, and 3 tablespoons of ice cream rock salt. Combine the cup, half-and-half, and vanilla extract in the quart zipper bag and seal. Add the salt, ice, and quart zipper bag to the gallon zipper bag and seal. Rock the bags back and forth until the contents thicken. Try to keep your preschooler from shaking the bag, which could cause it to break open and leak. Add any of your preschooler’s favorite toppings and enjoy!
Enjoy these hot days with your preschooler and include them in preparing the ingredients for their cool treats! Hopefully, you and your little one can enjoy a cool treat on a hot summer day without chasing down the ice cream truck!
