When kids get home from a long day of playing at school you only have a short bit of time to get a snack ready for them. Healthy snacks are the hardest sell but I have some fun ones for everyday of the week to try out!
From savoury to sweet treats I got you covered. Tuna melts and mini pizzas for a hot savoury snack and ants on a log and easy banana wraps for quickness! Even creamy frozen yogurt bark for those hot summer evenings! It's never been easier to re energize your kiddos!

- Line a baking tray with foil and pour the yogurt mixture on top. Spread it depending on how thick or thin you want your bark to be. Mine was approx 1/2 inch thick.

- Remove from the freezer and use a sharp knife to break the bark into pieces.
