Below is a taste of one of her healthy summer snacks:

Extra Sneaky Strawberry Breakfast Ice Cream

At first glance, I’m sure you’re thinking “Ice cream for breakfast? Where’s the healthiness in this?” Which is exactly what the Sneaky Chef wants you and your kids to think! However, these two-minute recipes are packed with nutritious ingredients, as you’ll see below. (Makes 2 servings)

Ingredients: 

• ¼ ripe avocado
• ½ cup frozen strawberries, without syrup or added sweeteners
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Directions: 

1. Put all ingredients in food processor and puree on high — hold on tight. The first few seconds are a bit rough until the mixture smoothes out.
2. Each makes about 1½ cups of ice cream.

Another sneaky hint: Make popsicles out of these ice creams by pouring them into ice pop molds and freezing the night before. It’s double the fun to eat it this way in the morning!

*In addition, these recipes can be quickly converted to a thinner smoothie by adding an extra ½ cup of milk to all the variations above and then mixing them in the blender. *
