Snacks For Kids

With summer holidays coming to an end I have to admit that I am feeling a little weary and my ability to deal with the constant demands for sweet and sugary snacks from my fussy eater is waning as the days go on.

If your kids are slightly older and a little more independant, then a Store Cupboard Snack Station or a Fridge Snack Station could be a great solution if your kids are always asking for snacks during the holidays.

But for younger children, that are unable to help themselves to snacks, it can be really difficult to keep up with the requests.

And it was out of this desperation that these Apple Pops were born last week! 

Apples

Apples are a fresh fruit that I find hard to get into my fussy eater. She doesn’t dislike them but I guess she just finds them a little boring.

I usually just cut them into chunks and serve them as part of a morning or afternoon snack.

But after a few minutes they tend to go a bit brown and that can’t be very appetising to a 3 year old!

However, food on sticks, like these Sausage & Veg Skewers still hold a lot of appeal in our house at the moment, so I thought I’d shove some apples on a stick, jazz them up with yogurt and toppings and see how they go down!

Quick & Easy To Prepare

My yogurt pops really are very quick and easy to make.

You don’t need any fancy equipment and you can even get your little ones helping you.

Get them to dip the apple wedge into the yogurt mixture and let them choose which toppings they want to coat their apple pops in.

Were They A Success?

I’m very pleased to report that they went down a treat.

Food on a stick is always a novelty and by getting my fussy eater involved in picking out her own toppings and helping me to decorate them, she was then super excited to eat them.

Result! I now have an easy way to get a relatively healthy treat into her without a fuss!

Obviously I still used chocolately and sugary sprinkles so these snacks aren’t 100% healthy.

But I do feel its a step in the right direction and a good way of showing kids that fruit can be fun. Do you have any tips for making fruit more appealing to your children?

Description

A delicious and tempting snack for your fussy eaters – Apple Pops dipped in yogurt and sprinkled with their favourite toppings!


Ingredients

  • 1 apple
  • lemon juice or lime juice (can be fresh or from a bottle)
  • 8 cake pop sticks
  • 1 small pot yoghurt (can be greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • sprinkles / chopped nuts / desiccated coconut and any other toppings to decorate

Instructions

  1. Cut the apple in half and remove the core. Cut each half in half, and each of those in half again, giving you 8 apple wedges. Dip each piece in some lemon or lime juice to stop the apples from browning. Push a cake pop stick into each of the pieces of apple.
  2. Add the honey to the pot of yogurt and stir. Dip each slice of apple half way into the yogurt and then immediately sprinkle over your choice of toppings.
  3. Place the apple pops on a plate or tray and put in the freezer for up to an hour until the yogurt is solid.
  4. You can eat these apple pops straight away or transfer them to a food bag and store in the freezer for up to a week.
