Springtime is when our family likes to get outside and go play. We kind of stay indoors in the Winter more, so when Spring hits we find lots of fun outdoor activities to do. The outdoors are a great place for your child to explore and use their imagination.
We go to the park, scooter riding, bike riding, hiking, camping or just sometimes a nature walk. We love spending time outdoors when the weather is beautiful. I have found that as a mom I have to keep healthy snacks with me to help keep my kids energized. Musselman's Applesauce is great for that! My kids love it! It's portable and we love that it comes in individual servings. The best part is that you don't have to refrigerate them.
Musselman's is on a mission to help get kids outside to play this Spring! They have come up will some amazing recipes that are geared towards being outdoors this Spring. These are healthy snacks that incorporate Musselman's applesauce for great outdoor snacking on the go.
I am going to share one of the recipes Musselman's provided with you below. This one is great and is very simple too! (Note - The recipe below is compliments of Musselman's and includes their wording as well)
