Chocolate Yogurt Clusters

These no-bake frozen yogurt treats are about to become your new favorite snack! Made with wholesome yogurt, fresh fruit, and pure maple syrup or honey, these frozen yogurt treats are then dipped in sweet white chocolate, making it the perfect red, white, and blue dessert this Fourth of July!

Spring CrispsFun fact: some of my favorite memories with Liv + Sawyer have been the ones we’ve made bonding together in the kitchen. 🫶🏼 Using sourdough rye thins as our blank canvas, this snack activity is not only a nutritious treat, but also a great way to give your kids confidence in the kitchen by sparking creativity. ✨. They’re crispy, super snackable, and are made with clean ingredients rich with fiber and plant based whole grains.
Olympic TorchesEasiest way to throw an Olympics themed party? Pass the torch! Let the kids do the heavy lifting with these yogurt filled cones topped with fresh fruit flames,
Beach Ball Cake PopsSummer’s in full swing and we’re celebrating at the beach! While in SoCal and Hawaii, we’re constantly next to the sand and ocean, so we had to make cake pops to match our vibes. ⛱️ These cake pops are made with a gluten-free mix to make things super easy. We then tossed in some clean frosting, covered in white chocolate, and decorated with dye-free sanding sugar. My kids had fun rolling the cake pops and decorating… such a fun way to get the kids cookin in the kitchen!
Shave Ice Cake PopsWe knew we had to make a cake pop version of this iconic Hawaiian frozen treat as soon as we booked our summer vaca to Oahu and Maui. Did you know that shave ice and snow cones are actually very different? Shave ice is made with finely shaved, not crushed, ice. This results in a powdery, fine consistency, like freshly fallen snow rather than crunchy ice.
Seashore Chocolate BarkWhile in Hawaii, we snorkeled with sea turtles and saw magnificent fish of every color in the rainbow, and we knew we had to recreate that image with a fun snack activity! Made with white chocolate, plant-based food color, and some crushed graham crackers, we brought some aloha back with us to NY!
Palm Tree CupcakesEven though we’re back from Hawaii, we’re still dreaming about those tropical Polynesian beaches. These cupcakes are so fun for a beach-themed party or just a fun snack activity. 🏝️ We used a gf cake-box mix to make our snack super quick and easy, then decorated with crushed graham crackers, organic fruit strips and gummies as well as our chocolate pretzel palm trees from a few posts back.
Copycat Choco TacosThese copycat Choco Tacos are a cleaned up version of the classic made with ingredients that even my 5 year old can pronounce 🤓 Let's make real food the norm. Let's build core memories with food that's not only delicious but also healthier than what's on the ice cream truck.
Blueberry Sparklers It’s blueberry season and we are 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it!! My kids believe everything is better on a stick, so we made these chocolate covered blueberries into magical wands! Great for a Frozen-themed party, Fourth of July or NYE sparklers, or a fun snack activity.
Carrot Cake PopsDuring the summer months I make an extra effort to create all the frozen treats so my kids stay hydrated. As a mom, it’s also my secret guilty pleasure to add veggies to their snacks whenever I can 😏. My 7 year old self-proclaimed carrot hater of a daughter will not eat a raw carrot but she’s obsessed with these carrot cake pops. Is it the creamy indulgent filling? Is it the graham cracker crusted white chocolate coating? Try them out and see for yourself!
Patriotic Apple PopsBookmark this page for the easiest no-bake July 4th recipe!! Takes just a few minutes, the base is fruit, and my kids LOVED that they could decorate these themselves.
Firecracker PopsiclesA cleaned up version of a classic, we used fruits for natural coloring rather than the artificial food dyes you'd get from the ice cream man. Naturally sweetened by strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and pure maple syrup, this is a treat I feel good about giving my children this summer!
