Recipe: Banana Crunch Popsicle

Produce for Kids has been a huge supporter of our GROW program. We decided to use one of their many recipes to feature a deliciously healthy snack. This tasty treat also becomes a fun activity for children and builds anticipation for their healthy Popsicle. Just like bananas, pistachios are full of potassium and are also high in protein, making it the perfect mix of health benefits for you and your children. This five minute snack is also great for children’s summer parties and barbeques. Read more
