This recipe’s name might be a mouthful, but you and your kids will love eating mouthfuls of these delightfully cool and healthy dessert bites all summer!
As a professional DIYer and auntie, I’m always looking for ways to spoil my six awesome nieces and nephews, as well as teaching them to do things for themselves. When I’m also able to set a healthy-life example, that’s the trifecta of “Auntie-ism”!
Around our home, summer is the time of get-together celebrations, and fresh fruit is often the guest of honor! We’re all quite aware of the 2-3 month, in-season window for strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, peaches, nectarines and on and on, so one or more are served in almost every meal.
Watch how to make Red, White and Blueberry FroYo Sandwich Bites!
