Life Hack #437…I dunno what number we are at at this point in life. I love life hacks though and this is one of them.
I love the convenience of the store bought Jello packs but these are just as easy to make them at home and it makes me feel better.
I have recently been trying to have snacks ready for my kids when they get hungry for a little something to eat. I have bags with veggies in the fridge and little containers of dip to go with it. I have bags with trail mix in the pantry and other stuff like that so they can grab them by themselves. It has saved me so much time and this is one of those snacks that we have made.
Have some yummy Reddi-Whip on hand and you are good to go. Of course it’s not necessary but it’s kind of fun.
