What are your child’s favorite snacks?
Here’s a comment. Great advice =) Thanks
Love the ideas! I want to share another crowd pleaser. Vanilla yogurt, bag of frozen berries (thawed). Run them through a food processor and pour them into little plastic cups. Stick a popsicle stick in and put in the freezer. When my daughter asks if she can have a popsicle for breakfast my answer is “yes!”.
excellent idea! Definitely quick, easy, healthy. Thank you for sharing!
