Sassy Happy Trails Mix:
Our Sassy Happy Trails Mix is the perfect snack for your toddler to nibble on. It’s not about nuts (which are NOT safe for this age range) and granola - it’s creating a filling, healthy and safe snack you can MAKE TOGETHER and take on the go. Try whole grain cereal, SOFT granola, fruit that’s soft but dry such as raisins, and throw in a little bit of color splash (like a tablespoon of some colorful cereal puffs. Think about toddler safe foods that won’t melt in the sun!
Frozen Banana Pops
One Sassy Doctor’s favorite treat! This is a refreshing and healthy snack for a hot summer day. Simply cut a banana in half widthwise. Push a popsicle stick into the banana. Then comes the fun part - melt a half cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe mug and add about a teaspoon of milk. DIP your banana (mom’s job!) into the mug and lay onto parchment paper. Let it cool a bit and then freeze! YUM!
Sassy Squeaky Mouse Pear
This may seem a little silly, but your kids will love it! First, cut a soft pear in half. Peel the skin. Place the flat side down. The small end will be the head of the mouse! Then, get creative! Push a small soft raisin in as the eyes, banana slices as ears- and a strawberry as the mouth. Have your little one do the arranging.
