What’s the summer without burgers and fries? Tempt their taste buds, but in a healthier way with these just-as-yummy alternatives…
Burgers and Fries
Yum, the summer is all about crowding around the BBQ – but next time reach for whole-wheat buns and ground turkey for your burgers. And instead of bought greasy fries, grill up your own sweet potato fries that are just as delicious and far healthier.
Popsicles
Popsicles are definitely the best way to cool down on a hot day. Forgo the store-bought variety laden with sugars and preservatives, and make your own! Try watering down lemonade or orange juice for toddlers and for the older kids, a frozen blend of berries and yogurt is totally delicious.
Ice Cream
Another go-to summer dessert, ice cream contains a lot of sugar and can be hard to digest for sensitive tummies. Next time pick up some frozen yogurt (or even gelato) and top with fresh berries; after a bowl full, this is what they’ll be screaming for from now on.
Thought that was sweet? You'll enjoy:
