This tasty snack is twice as nice with minimal ingredients and a breeze to prepare: 3 Ingredient Strawberry Nice Cream

I recently saw this meme comparing kids eating schedules during the school year and during the summer… and boy is it 100% true!

I had to prepare myself and have snacks at the ready for whenever cravings strike.  I wanted to keep snack time fresh with minimal junk food and had to get creative to avoid any snack burnout.

Ice cream is always a favorite dessert in our home, but this time I wanted to make a healthy version  to snack on with frozen bananas, vanilla extract and fresh strawberries.  Three ingredients, that’s it!

California Strawberries are not only great tasting but only 8 strawberries have 110% of your recommended daily value of vitamin C.  They are also and antioxidant and only 50 calories per 1-cup serving. Plus, you can find them year-round!  Another reason why I love California.

Snack time doesn’t have to be boring. There are lots of healthy ways to incorporate California Strawberries.  You can always eat them as is (my favorite way) or add them to your favorite salad, smoothie, sandwich or wrap.  They taste great with melted cheese in quesadillas and pizza.  It’s a very versatile fruit that travels well and tastes great.

For now, I will be checking out CaliforniaStrawberries.com for more recipe inspiration on how to make snack time fun and different.
