It’s back to school season. The air is crisp, our eyes are sleepy and puffy, and all four kids want something different for breakfast. And so it begins. Will it begin with these Healthy Popsicles 2 Ways?
Do your kids like all the same things for breakfast? Mine usually don’t. There are some exceptions like when I make Homemade Pop Tarts or Blueberry Muffins ……who wouldn’t like that?
Are your mornings rushed?
If the morning is rushed, and I don’t have anything made, they pretty much all eat different things. Most moms out there like the idea of sending your kids out the door with a good healthy breakfast to start their day. Sadly, the foods that are convenient are usually full of sugar, chemicals, and well, just artificial everything. It’s like saying, “here you go teacher, here’s my sugared-up kid for the day…” We don’t mean to do that, we all just like the convenience, I do too!!
How about a breakfast that’s fun, healthy, and just takes minutes to prep the night before? That’s what I’m talking about! So here it is….wait for it…… Popsicles for breakfast!!! Ahhhh, what a great idea. What kid could ask for anything more?
The two flavors I picked for my kids was Toasted Coconut and Raspberry Pineapple. Let’s look at just some of the health benefits.
Toasted Coconut Cream Popsicles
These are made with coconut milk which aids in maintaining a good weight, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and heart-healthy! I also sweeten these with local honey which contains powerful antioxidants, is also anti-viral and anti-fungal, and has nutrients and enzymes!
Raspberry Pineapple Popsicles
These are made with fresh raspberry and pineapple puree. Raspberries are a great source of vitamin C, they have healthy antioxidants, and they reduce the risk of cancer! Pineapple is wonderful in so many ways! It has the enzyme bromelain which helps aid in digestion as well as helps prevent coughs and colds!
With just a little bit of prep the night before, your kids can wake up to a healthy nutritious breakfast! Another plus- you can make these with your kid’s favorite combinations!
