With a house full of growing kids I am always trying to come up with delicious meals and snacks that are healthy and taste great. These fruit snacks are winners. You know those trips to the grocery store with the kids and all of those cool character boxes calling out to your little one? Please tell me I’m not the only one 😉 You can make these and be the coolest mom in the process.

Natural Healthy Homemade Fruit Snacks

You can print the recipe below with detailed directions.
All you need is a few ingredients:
4 lemons squeezed for sour or 2/3 cup orange juice(2-3 oranges) for a sweeter taste.
3/4 lb. frozen berries
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. Agar Powder which is vegetarian and gluten free – perfect substitute for Gelatin.
After heating it in a sauce pan I use my Ninja Master Blender. You can use anything you usually blend or puree with.
Pour into these cool Star Wars molds or any molds that your kids like. This part gives you the “cool mom” hugs and smiles. But you can also use a 9×9 pan if you’d like.
Not only are these delicious they are really easy to make.
After printing the recipe below you might want to head over and check out these great snack ideas or visit my Fun food for kids Pinterest Board.

Hi, I followed the directions but these did not set up at all for me. Any troubleshooting ideas? I’ve had good success with agar in the past, but this turned out the consistency of berry sauce (tasty)
