Healthy Holiday Treats & Poppins Book Nook
Festive, fun, and absolutely delicous! Our preschoolers loved making and eating their Healthy Holiday Treats!
In the past, we have enjoyed dipping pretzels (and all sorts of other things) in chocolate during the holidays. This year, however, I have a kiddo that cannot have any refined sugar, so I adapted our normal pretzel sticks to this healthy recipe that she can enjoy with us!
All of the kids (sugar free and not!) had a blast dipping their pretels...and eating them too! You can make healthy holiday treats too! You just need these
Simple Supplies:
* yogurt (we used plain greek yogurt sweetened with stevia. Amazon affiliate link: Liquid Stevia
)
* freeze dried strawberries (many grocery stores carry these, but you can also get them online...here's an Amazon affiliate link: Freeze-Dried Strawberries
)
* pretzel sticks
* wax paper (optional, but very convenient!)
* freezer
Easy How To:
1- Prepare your sprinkles by crushing the dried strawberries.
2- Dip a pretzel stick in the yogurt.
3- Sprinkle the healthy sprinkles on the yogurt-covered pretzel!
4- Place your newly made heatlhy holiday treat on a dish or pan covered with wax paper. When the pan is full, set them in your freezer until the yogurt hardens.
5- When the yogurt is hardened, take your healthy treats out and enjoy them! They make a great healthy dessert or just-for-fun snack!
You could read any Christmas or holiday story and tie it in with these red and white treats. We read The Berenstain Bears' Night Before Christmas and talked about how the little bears would have loved to make and decorate pretzel sticks too! It's also a great book for talking about family traditions!
