I love ice cream and if it were not sinful to the hips I'd indulge daily! This afternoon I created a yummy snack for me and the kids that satisfies the cold and sweet factor.
1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese
** 2 Tbsp of honey
8 medium strawberries, sliced or diced
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
Combine all in a bowl and allow toddler/preschooler to help you mix... they will delight in the changing color of the cottage cheese to a blue/purple. I like the frozen blueberries especially for the coldness to transcend to the other ingredients. Be sure to use ripe strawberries if you do not want that tartness that can come from an unripened strawberry. Enjoy!
** do not feed honey to a baby younger than 12mo
