Tooth Friendly Summer Snacks

 
Is there anything better than eating a refreshing snack in the dog days of summer? We don't think so! Below are some summer snacks you can really sink your teeth into:

Frozen Yogurt Dots - Kids love this since it looks and tastes like ice cream, parents love it because it’s not! Pour your child’s favorite yogurt into a Ziploc bag, snip off an end, and squeeze small dots of yogurt onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer until the yogurt freezes. Once done, grab a handful and enjoy!

Frozen Watermelon Slices - Skip the typical sweet, frozen pops this summer by instead cutting a watermelon into slices, trimming off the rind, inserting a Popsicle stick, and putting them in the freezer! Voila - simple, healthy, and delicious!

Fruit Pizza - Take a whole grain tortilla, pita, or flat bread, spread your favorite ‘sauce’ (greek yogurt, jam, nut butter, etc), and then add your desired fruit toppings. Cut into wedges and serve! Or feel free to fold it like a quesadilla for a grab and go snack.
