 I wanted to come up with something “cool” but healthy and natural. Bingo!!! These Star Wars natural, healthy, homemade fruit snacks scored major points with my Jedi’s.

 

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.
