Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Gummy Bear Snacks
No lunchbox is complete without a sweet treat to end the meal. But, you might worry that even a small dessert will give your little ones a sugar high, leading to an inevitable energy crash. To help them stay alert and focused throughout the day, you’ll need a healthy treat that isn’t loaded with processed sugar and artificial ingredients, like these vegan, homemade gummy bears. Rather than sugar-crash-inducing ingredients, they’re sweetened with stevia and made with coconut water, lemon juice and strawberries.
