Canada Day And Evening Snacks Recipes
On this amazing Canada Day, we encourage you to get outside, run around and play with your kids. After all this activity, have a snack!
I bet the kids would love it if you pulled out a special themed treat to enjoy!
Some Canada Day and evening snacks recipes:
- Cut watermelon or sandwiches into maple leaf shapes
- Put some strawberries and marshmallows onto a stick
- Tomatoes and boccincini or mozzarella cheese on a stick
- White chocolate dipped pretzels
- Melt white chocolate, dip half a pretzel in, sprinkle on red sprinkles and lay on baking sheet, refrigerate until set
And to cool off after a day of activity a fun in the sun enjoy a red and white popsicle!
Ingredients
- About 2 heaping cup strawberries or raspberries
- 1 cup vanilla flavoured Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Using a blender, puree the berries until smooth. Set aside.
- Put the yogurt and the berry purees in small measuring cups with spouts.
- Thin each out a bit with water so they can be poured easily.
- I would suggest starting with only 2 or 3 layers
- Let’s assume we are doing 3: start by pouring berries into each mold to fill up about 1/3 of the way.
- Put the mold in the freezer and freeze till firm (about an hour)
- Pour yogurt into each mold for the next stripe (mold should now be about 2/3 of the way full).
- Depending on type of mold you are using now is the time to insert the sticks. Make sure to get the stick a little bit into the frozen layer so they will stand straight. Put back into the freezer until solid.
- Add the last berry stripe to fill the mold and put back in freezer.
- Once completely frozen solid, you can un-mold your pops.
- Keep the popsicles in the mold until you are ready to serve.
Quick Tips:
-
Try raspberry or strawberry, or ever cranberry if you like tart tastes!
-
Do half berry and half yogurt for an easier popsicle
-
Swirl berries and yogurt together to have a marble look
-
Have fun and make with your kids!
