Summer Snacking Made Easy With a Cool Down Bar

My kids will be out of school in 4 days and then it's officially summer in our home! Living in South Florida means we have summer weather year-round but school break makes it just feel more like summer! Now it does get hot, I mean it's already 90 degrees by 10 am so I have come up with an easy "Cool Down" bar that I set up for the kids by the back door. This way it is easy for them to come get snack, cool off a bit and then continue on with their adventures. The main star of my cool down bar: Snack Pack Juicy Gels!!

My kids love Snack Pack Juicy Gels and when we were at the store the other day grabbing some gels, we saw that now there are Snack Pack Pudding Bars: delicious chocolate bars with pudding baked right in!

I mean so delicious that when we came home, Gian snuck outside and I found him like this! Caught in the act and loving every minute of it! I may or may not have joined him!

Setting up a cool-down bar is super easy. As soon as I buy my snack packs, I put them in the fridge. Nothing yummier than a cold Snack Pack!! Then I just add some cut-up fruit (strawberries, mango, pineapple, grapes) and graham crackers in cute cups and I also set out some whipped cream!! The kids get to create their own snacks and I love that they are also getting some fresh fruit in! Their favorite is what I call a "Fresh Strawberry Snack"

This is the easiest snack ever. Grab a Snack Pack, add whipped cream, fruit of choice and graham crackers. Use a super cute spoon and enjoy!!

My kids think its a super special treat since they get to eat whipped cream but I know that it's a yummy "no need to bake in the heat and there's fresh fruit" snack! We found a winner and I guarantee you, if you pass by our house on a summer day, you too can enjoy a snack from our new cool down bar!!

I purchased everything for the Cool Down bar at Walmart. We love our Snack Pack Juicy Gels. They are so easy to pop in a cooler for a beach day or park day or are a fun after school snack.
