Keep your kids happy and hydrated this summer with simple real fruit slushies! These frosty treats are 100% free from artificial flavors and dyes, and sweetened with nothing but real fruit and a touch of honey.

Do you have an ice cream truck in your neighborhood? If so, tell us honestly: do you dread the sound of that merry jingle coming down your block?

Kids love all the cold, sweet things in the summertime. You really can't blame them. But for those of us wishing to limit sugar-laden and highly-processed foods, the summer parade of soft serve and neon-colored popsicles isn't necessarily welcome.

Of course, we still want our kids to experience the joy of a frosty treat in the shade on a hot day. That's where these real fruit slushies come in majorly handy.

A Fun and Healthy Summer Treat

These real fruit slushies get their gorgeous color and sweet flavor from whole frozen fruits and a touch of honey. Whole fruits provide kids with fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, folate, and potassium... (good luck finding all that in a storebought popsicle... even the "natural" kind!)

These slushies come in a rainbow of natural colors depending on what fruit you make them from. You can get as creative as you (and your kids) like with the fruits you use. Here's a few ideas to try individually, or in combinations:

Tips for Making Fresh Fruit Slushies

The whole recipe for these slushies won't take you more than five minutes. But we've compiled a few tips to help you make the tastiest and most fun fruit slushies.

First, be flexible with the amount of honey you add. Some fruits, like grapes and mango, are quite sweet. Others, like raspberries and strawberries, might taste best with an extra tablespoon of honey added to the blender.

Serve slushies in a clear cup with a spoon AND a straw. You might notice that the slushies are thick at first (best eaten with a spoon), and more slurpable after about five minutes of resting (hello, straw.) A clear cup lets that beautiful color shine through.

Say yes to frozen fruits. You can absolutely cut and freeze your own fruits. But it's perfectly fine to use bagged frozen fruit in this recipe. The flavor and nutrition is all there.

A good strong blender makes great slushies. We use a Blendtec.

Turn leftovers into homemade ice pops. Pour any extra into a pop mold and freeze for a second round of healthy frozen treats.

Our family loves good ol' vanilla yogurt. But to jazz it up a little, I thought I'd add a little bit of fresh fruit at the top and freeze them, turning this little snack into frozen yogurt fruit dots!

This idea came from One Good Thing By Jillee, who's made these frozen yogurt dots before, as well as Super Healthy Kids and their ice cube tray method. But we're adding some fresh fruit to the top of our dots to make them the perfect frozen yogurt bites, yum!

Pop these in the freezer for an hour or two and they are ready for an easy healthy snack! I love them just as much as my kids do. Especially as I'm home all day, I can have a bowl of these ready to go in the freezer for a quick snack. Just what I need to curb my sweet tooth!

Supplies:

yogurt

squeeze container or plastic zip top bag

fruit - cut into small sections

tray

parchment paper

Method:

I added yogurt to my squeeze bottle, using a knife to fill it up to the top.

You can simply use a plastic sandwich bag and cut off the corner tip of the bag. But I love using my squeeze bottle with a spout top (usually used for frosting). You can get a 3 pack for $5. It makes it so easy to make frozen yogurt dots and the container is reusable, no waste!

With parchment paper down on your tray, evenly squeeze yogurt in a small dime size portion.

You can place these closer together than I did, but I tried to make my tray look pretty for you!

Add your fruit bite to the top of each yogurt dots.

Place your tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours. I suggest 2 hours in the freezer to help freeze your fruit all the way as well.

They are ready to snack on! You can place them all into a large freezer bag or plastic freezer container and they will keep in the freezer for 2 months. Although I'm pretty certain they won't last that long :)

Make them 2 hours before the kids come home from school and it's a perfect sweet treat for after school. Yum!

Inside: Mindfulness, or the ability to be fully present and aware, is an important skill for children to develop. In this post, learn how to make a glitter jar to promote mindfulness and calm in your home or classroom.
He stormed into my office, face hot and fists balled. I wasn't surprised, as his teacher had called and told me he was on the way. Without speaking, he reached for a blue, glittery jar on the table, shook it, then set it back down. With a huff, he fell into a nearby bean bag chair.

I quietly continued working. He wasn't ready to talk... yet.

How a Glitter Jar Can Help Kids Control Their Feelings

When kids are stressed, sad, or angry, the amygdala's natural fight, flight, or freeze response kicks in, making rational decision-making nearly impossible.

Mindfulness gives kids space and time to calm down and pay attention to what is going on in their body and environment. Regularly practicing mindfulness reduces stress and increases wellness and self-control.

Glitter jars are a useful mindfulness tool at home and school. Watching the glitter swirl to the bottom of the jar gives kids time to calm down and regain control.

How to Make a Glitter Jar

It's easy and fun to make glitter jars with kids. It's a lovely project for kids who are learning about emotions and mindfulness.

At home, I've found glitter jars to be a very useful tool for managing behavior and time. After evening baths, I shake the jars and tell the boys, "Pajamas on and teeth brushed by the time the glitter settles." They race against the glitter, and usually win! This is good for our family because the high-pitched ring of traditional kitchen timers upsets and startles my boys.

As an Elementary School Counselor, I use glitter jars with small groups of kids who are learning about feelings, anger management, or mindfulness. I keep one in the center of my table so when emotional kids visit my office, they can flip the jar and relax on a nearby cushion.

To Make This Calm Down Jar You Will Need

Directions for Glitter Jar

1. After gathering supplies, pour 1/2 cup of distilled water into the jar. We used 16-ounce glass mason jars, but plastic water bottles would work as well (and should be used for kids who are prone to throwing objects when they are angry).

Why distilled water? Unlike tap water, distilled water contains no contaminants or minerals and will help keep your glitter jars mold-free.

2. Invite kids to pour 1/2 cup of glitter glue or clear glue into the jar. If you use our exact ingredients and recipe, it will take about 2 minutes for the glitter to settle in the jar.

3. If you are choosing to do so, add 1-2 teaspoons of extra glitter to the jar.

4. Fill up the remainder of the jar with distilled water.

5. Use a hot glue gun to squeeze a ring of glue around the lid of the jar. Press the lid onto the jar and secure with the metal ring.

6. Shake the jar well to distribute the glitter. (It took many shakes and a rest overnight to convince the glue to disperse completely.)

How to Use a Glitter Jar

Before you give a glitter jar to a child, you must teach them how to use it. Invite your child to sit down comfortably. Encourage them to shift their gaze to the swirling glitter, breathing deeply in and out as they watch it sink to the bottom of the jar.

Next, invite them to notice the calm feeling moving through their body as they breathe. Perhaps their feet feel heavy and warm, and that feeling is moving up towards their shoulders. As they breathe, ask them to notice how their heartbeat feels steady and their body temperature feels just right. All the while breathing in...and out. As the glitter settles and the water clears, so will their thoughts, feelings, and body.

As the boy in my office watched the glitter, his breathing deepened and became more rhythmic. His expression softened as his fists relaxed. After 10 minutes, he asked for permission to get a drink.

He was ready to talk.
