I wouldn’t exactly call this a “recipe”, but they sure are delicious.
These little frozen orbs make a super healthy snack that kids love to eat, especially when it’s warm outside.
Whether you use green or red grapes doesn’t matter, but if you use grapes with seeds, make sure to cut them in half and remove the seeds before you freeze them. Kenya and I went to my friend Rachel’s house and she had what seemed like miles of Concord grapes growing all over a trellis in her yard. They tasted just like the Welch’s grape juice!
Grapes have potassium which is important for overall cardiovascular health and phytonutrients called anthocyanins which can have powers 50 times stronger then vitamin E.
These are great because you can serve them to 10 month olds cut into quarters, 18 month olds cut in half and whole ones given to kids over 4 or so.

Frozen Grapes (makes 1 Cup)

1 Cup Grapes, any color (make sure they’re seedless and if not seed them before freezing).

1. Place the washed grapes on a cookie sheet (If your little one is under the age of 2, halve the grapes before freezing).
2. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 4 hours.
3. Serve.

I’ve always loved chicken salad. I’m used to the traditional kind — chicken, celery, mayo — but I thought I could come up with a healthy and more exciting version for Kenya. Something about the addition of grapes seemed like a delicious idea to me since Kenya loves them on their own, so why not in this recipe?!
My friend Diane came over today and said that she normally doesn’t like chicken salad because the pieces of chicken are too big. I couldn’t agree more. You want to be able to take a bite and enjoy all of the tastes, not just chicken. By throwing everything in the food processor, it combines the ingredients so every bite has a little of everything and a lot more flavor, in my opinion.
This is a great “on the go” dish for little ones because it has a fruit, protein, carb and vegetable. Just be sure it doesn’t sit out too long because of the mayo (or Veganaise).
