As the weather warms up, I like to make cold treats for my kids to snack on. What better way than to try out frozen yoghurt fruit barks which are so popular right now!
This yummy frozen treat is a fun and refreshing snack for kids and adults alike. Quick and simple, they are a great healthy alternative to ice cream and my girls loved helping me make them. We made a big batch to keep for warmer days. This is a versatile recipe so feel free to try out different toppings.
