Family Fun
Continued from page 7
• Make each member of the family a “Well- ness Wednesday” jar to drop in activity and healthy food ideas. Every Wednesday, pick one from each jar and let the wellness wash over you.
• Plant blueberry bushes on your property. The environment and your family will thank you! • Give your kids’ roadside stand an edge with
bright blueberry lemonade.
• Get ready for long car trips and beach va-
cays with a neighborhood book swap.
• Got picky eaters? Entice them with a build-
your-own-smoothie bar full of fruits/veggies.
• Plan a neighborhood “progressive playdate,” moving from house to house to enjoy different
“play stations.”
• Rally the kids for a local playground/park
cleanup day.
• Clear space for a serious dance floor. Rock
the house with a Zumba party or try out the fun- niest moves you can find on YouTube.
• Hit your local blueberry festival for tasty treats and activities.
• Make a friend’s day with a surprise letter! Fill the envelope with fun paper gifts like a hand- made bookmark, stickers or confetti—and don’t forget to decorate the envelope!
• Practice “Muffin Tin Math”; with toddlers, letting them count and categorize healthy snacks in muffin tins or ice cube trays.
• Take turns storytelling—each person con- tributes one sentence at a time. Write down or re- cord for lasting family memories.
• Chill out with some guilt-free, homemade ice pops with frozen fruit. Here’s how:
Red, White and Blueberry Popsicles
Makes 4
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed 1 cup diced watermelon
4 popsicle sticks and mold
In a blender, add blueberries and 5 table- spoons yogurt; puree until smooth. Divide blue- berry mixture among the ice pop molds, filling them about 1⁄3 of the way. Freeze 1-2 hours. Add a layer of 2 tablespoons yogurt on top of frozen blueberry layer to each ice pop mold. Freeze 1 hour until almost completely frozen. In the meantime, puree watermelon and 1 tablespoon yogurt in a blender. When the yogurt layer is al- most completely frozen, add watermelon mix- ture to form top layer of the ice pops. Push in the pop handles. Freeze another 1-2 hours.
Keep this list handy for inspiration and ad- venture, marking off each one as you live it, and find more ideas from the U.S. Highbush Blueber- ry Council at www.littlebluedynamos.com/Bite- SizeSummer.
