Coupling cool snacks with healthy treats can require a bit of creativity, but it\u2019s not impossible to encourage healthy eating over the summer break. As a partner of the Together Counts\u2122 program for healthy, active living, and to help your kids cool down and stay hydrated, consider these six healthy snacks that are great on hot summer days.<\/p>\n<h2>Fruit Salad<\/h2>\n<p>Fruit salad is one of the easiest recipes to prepare during the summer. All it takes is some chilled mixed fruit, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpe.org\/blog\/3-reasons-why-breakfast-is-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day-for-kids\/\">it\u2019s perfect for breakfast<\/a>, lunch or a snack. There are practically no limits to fruit salad, whether you want to pair melon, strawberries and grapes together or even throw in a bit of chopped papaya, kiwi, blueberry or oranges. Toss in a bit of lemon juice to keep the fruit from browning, or add a bit of orange juice for extra flavor.<\/p>\n<h2>Frozen Juice Pops<\/h2>\n<p>Popsicles are a staple for hot summer days to help you cool down. A healthy and easy alternative are home made frozen juice pops. Simply blend your favorite fruits or vegetables together in a food processor, pour the liquid mixture into popsicle molds, and freeze. Not only does this cut out the added sugar, but these types of pops are full of other healthy nutrients \u2014 and your kids won\u2019t know the difference.<\/p>\n<h2>Pineapple Sorbet<\/h2>\n<p>Another frozen treat that will help your kids cool down is this healthy sorbet recipe. Start with one pineapple and scoop out the flesh, placing it in a blender. Add two tablespoons of agave or maple syrup, one cup of water, and the juice from one lemon. Blend until smooth, and then freeze. Once frozen, let the mixture thaw slightly, and then blend it again until you reach a sorbet-like consistency. That\u2019s it! For extra fun, you can serve the sorbet in a half of the pineapple shell. It\u2019s a tasty chilled treat your kids will love.<\/p>\n<h2>Guacamole<\/h2>\n<p>Guacamole is an avocado dip that is packed with nutrients. It\u2019s made by mashing avocados and combining them with lemon juice, chopped red onions, garlic, salt, black pepper and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpe.org\/blog\/heart-healthy-meals-that-are-child-friendly\/\">diced tomatoes<\/a>. You can use it as a dip with whole grain corn chips, as a spread on sandwiches and wraps, or mixed with cooked egg yolks as an alternative to mayonnaise when making deviled eggs.<\/p>\n<h2>Potato Salad<\/h2>\n<p>Potato salad is a great way to pack vegetables into your diet during the summer. Because it\u2019s so tasty, easy and nutritious, it\u2019s perfect for family summer potlucks and barbecues. There are tons of potato salad recipes you can turn to, and many people are lucky enough to have a secret family recipe they use. Even if you\u2019ve never made your own potato salad before, with potatoes, celery, onion and eggs, you just can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Wraps<\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about wraps is that there are endless delicious and healthy combinations. A basic wrap starts with a tortilla, lettuce, cheese and chicken, with additional fillings such as onion, tomato, bell peppers and avocado. To make it even healthier, opt for high-fiber tortillas, spinach tortillas or whole grain tortillas. Try experimenting with hummus, spinach, cucumbers, corn and beans as you please. You can even swap out the chicken for other\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpe.org\/blog\/6-ideas-for-protein-packed-kid-friendly-food\/\">lean meats, fish, or vegetarian alternatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Getting your kids interested in healthy eating this summer doesn\u2019t have to be hard work. With these summer recipes, your kids will be able to cool off while filling their bellies with something healthy and delicious.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your go-to healthy summer snack?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpe.org\/\">SPARK<\/a><em> is a research-based program that provides award-winning, evidence-based programs for Physical Education (K-12), Classroom Physical Activity &amp; Recess, After School, Early Childhood, Nutrition and Health.
