When I think of summer snacks, I picture refreshingly cool treats, fruits, and veggies. I still need flavor, I just don’t need anything too heavy.
Few of my all-time favorite summer treats have to be fruit salads and homemade popsicles. They’re loaded with goodness, bright, and fresh.

Fresh Tomato Bruschetta
Stay with me this place. This is one of those recipes that looks imaginative and seems too sophisticated for children’s, but only one of those descriptions is yes. If you can dice up some tomatoes, slather on olive oil and tearing a little basil, you do make a delicious and fresh toast top your kids will be asking for all summer long.
Simple White Bean Hummus with Lemon Juice
Drained white beans from the can are the base of this astonishing addictive dip. Add the little olive salt, oil, lemon juice and pepper and you’ve got a nourishing dip served for pennies.
The Pioneer Woman’s Frozen Fruit Cups
This is my type of recipe: Chop up the little fruit, throwing it in the freezer-proof cup, freeze and served. I like Ree Drummond’s idea so much that I’m already plan to whip out my muffin pan just so I do make more of them! An even dozen must do it, right?

Mini-Fruit Pizzas
What good manner to get the chidrens to eat their veggies and fruits than to put them on top of the “pizza.”
For these small bites, you do so ease up speed up the prep and utilize store-bought cookies. I like soft sugar cookies, but any would do.
Just keep in head that if you make these too far in advance, the fruit would start to dry out on top while at the same time seeping juices into the cookie and frosting.
Paula Deen Banana Bread
It doesn’t matter how often I put together it. I am not tire of banana bread.
Banana bread is sweet, moist, perfect and tender for the light mid-day snack.
This recipe is mainly delicious, hail from southern queen herself, Paula Deen.
Naturally, this recipe calling for butter over oil, give it such a rich flavor. It’s also full of pecans for the beautiful bit of crunch.
Easy Watermelon Popsicles
Watermelon is already a typical summer snack, but with this recipe, it’s extra fun and extra cold!
All you’ll want to do is blended seedless watermelon with the lime juice and pouring the mix into the mold.
I recently purchase these remarkable Tovolo zombies ice pop molds, which have been such a hit! They’re dishwasher safe and super fun, too.
Fruit Salad With Peach Pie Filling
One of the overlooked ingredients in the fruit salad is dressing. You’d be amazed by how many humans leave it out!
It could be a simple zesty lime syrup or orange juice sauce, but either manner, it will increase all those fruity flavors like nothing else.
This recipe is not only sweet and vibrant, but it’s also super sneaky, utilizing peach pie filling for its color, built-in dressing and amazing flavor.
Apple Nachos with Chocolate and Peanut Butter
I’ll bet most kids would try beets if you drizzle over enough chocolate chips and peanut butter!
So who could possibly resisting this simple yet innovative summer snack?
I think a sweet apple working best for this, so I utilized a mix of pink lady and fuji.
But since you cover them with peanut butter, any apple variety might work.
If you have a peanut allergy in the family, go ahead and apply almond butter.
However, if you want this to be nut-free, trying drizzle caramel over instead.
