Tropical Fruit Pops*

 

Prep time: 5 minutes | Makes: 4 pops

Q: Did you know only 25 percent of kids receive the recommended number of servings of fruit per day? Do your kids make the grade?

A: Here’s a solution everyone can enjoy. Each kiwi-licious fruit pop give kids over one serving of fruit…with no added sugar. Freeze a batch using fresh GOLD kiwifruit — only grown in New Zealand by ZESPRI™ — for a sweet, tropical treat!

Tiki Chicken Skewers with GOLD Kiwifruit Marinade*

Makes: 4 servings

Making your own fresh fruit marinade sounds like an afternoon’s work. What busy mom has time for that?

Not us! We like this one – quick, effortless and great on teriyaki chicken. Plus, using ZESPRI™ New Zealand Kiwifruit to create the perfect marinade cuts the sodium by half. What mom doesn’t love that?

Another hint: Encourage your kids to eat more veggies by using the dipping sauce for any meal or snack. Great for picnics and pool parties too!

Ah, the ice cream cone. A little creativity with everyone’s favorite icon of childhood introduces more fruit to your kids’ diets and more fun for everyone.

No spoon required.

Potassium Power Smoothie*

 

Prep time: 5 minutes | Makes: 2 servings

 

Great for moms and kids alike! Packed with protein, fiber and vitamins, this smoothie is a true meal replacement. Smoothies have spilled out of health food stores and gone mainstream. However, a store-bought smoothie may contain more fat, sugar

and calories than its healthy appearance suggests. You can use GREEN or GOLD Kiwifruit for this recipe.

 

Boost the nutritional value of your drink by whipping up fresh ZESPRI™ GOLD Kiwifruit**, skins and all!
