Frozen Berries are Better Than Ice Cream

Ok, so I will concede that I still like ice cream more, but my kiddos seem to like the concept of a frozen treat more than the amount of sugar in the treat. When we had a play date with some friends they wanted to share a snack with my kiddos. I was surprised when the children didn't want cookies, goldfish, or fruit snacks, they wanted frozen berries. I was not quite sure what my children would think of that and I was pleasantly surprised to find they loved the berries! Now, I can add another healthy, low sugar snack idea to my list of kid snacks.

We often have berries in our Bountiful Baskets. To freeze them yourself
  • Lay berries out individually on a cookie sheet to avoid clumps of berries being frozen together.
  • Place in cookie sheet in freezer and leave until berries are frozen solid. About 4 to 6 hours.
  • When berries are completely frozen, remove cookie sheet from freezer and place frozen berries in a ziploc bag for safe storage to use later.
  • Return bag of berries to freezer.
