Fruit Swirled Yogurt Pops | The Chef Next Door
One of my favorite things about the warm weather is getting to eat lots of frozen treats. I pretty much eat ice cream all year round, but during the warmer months I love to make my own homemade ice cream and other goodies. These Fruit Swirled Yogurt Pops are one of newest creations! Made with just four ingredients, these yogurt pops are beautiful, delicious, AND healthy!

I created this yummy recipe in partnership with Produce for Kids for their 2016 Spring Campaign. I participated last year and really enjoyed promoting such a great cause. Produce for Kids teamed up with Meijer to bring Jump with Jill, a rock & roll nutrition show, to local schools. The campaign launched May 29 and runs through June 26. It will raise funds for Jump with Jill and offer Meijer shoppers healthy meal solutions, recipes and tips. Since 2013, Produce for Kids has donated $342,823 to Jump with Jill, and about 75 schools have been supported through the campaign since fall 2014! 

Tomato Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad + Produce for Kids Campaign

Four simple ingredients are all you need to make this deliciously creamy, fresh and healthy pasta salad 
your whole family will love!
Being a mom to two active, growing teenage boys, I'm always trying to incorporate more fresh fruits and veggies into their diets. Sometimes I have to be sneaky, but most of the time I don't. I'm lucky that they aren't too picky, and love a wide variety of foods. My oldest especially, will eat just about everything I serve him. From spinach to arugula to asparagus, there isn't much he doesn't like.

When I was recently asked to help promote the 13th Annual Produce for Kids campaign, I was thrilled! This healthy eating-focused campaign with Meijer launched May 31st and will raise funds to bring the nutrition education program, Jump with Jill, to local schools in the Meijer area. The Produce for Kids campaign offers Meijer shoppers in-store and online meal solutions, recipes, and tips to families looking to embrace healthier eating habits.
