Sky blue parfait
Paint the colors of the summer sky with this Instagram-worthy (or whatever apps your kids are using these days) parfait. And yes, it looks just as good as it tastes!
Healthy popsicles
Everyone loves to cool down with an ice-cold treat, but it’s not hard to see why you’d be wary of eating too many store-bought popsicles. By adding their favorite leafy greens and fresh fruits, kids can create their own vitamin-packed popsicles without compromising on the flavor.

Mango gazpacho
What do you get when you mix summer, soup, and Spanish? Gazpacho! If you’re unfamiliar with gazpacho, it’s a Spanish-style cold soup made from raw, blended vegetables. Our recipe includes mango for a fresh twist and is perfect for hot summer nights.
Spinach strawberry salad
Meet your new favorite alliteration (and side dish): spinach strawberry salad! This sweet and savory combination will be sure to surprise your taste buds. The best part? It’s so quick and easy to make that your child can probably whip it up on their own.
