(One Ingredient) Fruit Snow Cones

If you look at the ingredients of a classic snow cone, they’re pretty cringy. Not only is there a boat load of sugar, but the amount of synthetic food dye is mind boggling. Let’s normalize real food. That’s where we come in 😉.

🍧 These ONE INGREDIENT fruit cones are made with just fruit. No added sweeteners, no added junk. While you can use a hand grater too, this mama’s got no time or patience, so I used my electric grater. My kids wanted a red, white, and blue effect for Fourth of July, so we settled on strawberries, pineapple, and wild blueberries.

Coconut Water Fruit Pops

These 3-ingredient popsicles are perfect for a Fourth of July treat or summertime snack. So simple to make, my kids are amazed that these star shaped popsicles are see-through and I love how hydrating and nutritious they are!

Carrot Cake Donuts

These donuts are soft, moist, and bursting with the warm, spiced flavors of classic carrot cake, featuring hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, and topped with a rich and tangy cream cheese frosting. Made with just a handful of ingredients, they are both refined sugar-free and gluten-free. Even my daughter, who’s a self-proclaimed carrot hater, loves these donuts!

☀️ This fun and easy recipe will not only keep your kids busy during summer vacation but also give them confidence in the kitchen as they learn to measure, pour, mix, and frosting the donuts.

Strawberry Shortcake Pops

Made with creamy strawberries and coconut cream, this healthier version of the classic is coated in white chocolate and covered in freeze dried fruit and gluten-free cookie crumbs. Introducing you to your new summertime favorite bar.

Parmesan Tomato Burst Salmon

This one pot salmon dish focuses on summer tomatoes bursting with flavor that’s enhanced by dill, parsley, garlic, and Parmesan. My daughter Liv hates salmon but she loves this dish. Oh, and it takes less than 20 min to make 🤩

Tofu Veggie Skewers

To make these 5 ingredient tofu veggie skewers all you need is tofu, a bell pepper, zucchini, onion, and a clean ingredient bottled marinade.

You can change up the sauce each time so it never gets old… we’ve done teriyaki, pesto, and Italian. The veggies can also vary depending on what you have in the fridge that week… mushrooms work great too!

This meal is the perfect way to expose your kids to new flavors and veggies, and is an easy way to get them involved in the meal prep process.
