Beat the heat with a fun summertime snack that’s as sweet as it is easy to create. The better-for-you Ice Cream Cone Fruit Cups make for a kid-friendly treat or dessert with just a few simple ingredients from your local Smart & Final.
Thank you, Smart & Final, for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opions are my own.
Summertime means snacking! From prepping for picnics to fueling fandom for the big game, our snacking is in overdrive. I’m not sure if the school day keeps the kids’ appetites at bay or if the abundant sunshine amplifies them.
Either way, my kids are snacking a ton!
Thankfully, I can stock up on all of our summetime snacks at Smart & Final. This month, we have been sharing fun ways to Beat the Heat with Smart & Final’s private label, First Street.
Snack Ideas to Beat the Heat
When it’s hot outside, there’s nothing better than a cool treat to tone down the temperatures.
Some of our favorites include:
Frozen Fruit
Hummus & Veggies
Homemade Smoothies
Frozen Bananas Dipped in Yogurt or Chocolate
When stocking up for summer at my local Smart & Final, I was happy to find so many options, ranging from fresh produce to prepared meals.
We’ve been spending more time at home this summer (pretty much every minute), so having options at home that spark joy for my family are extra important.
We found the ingredients for tons of fun snacks at Smart & Final. For Christmas in July, we enjoyed Frozen Hot Chocolate. Since we were missing the county fair, we brought home Snow Cone syrups & cups.
Ice Cream Cone Fruit Cups
For a simple summertime snack, fill ice cream cones with chopped fruit and whipped cream.
Ingredients:
First Street Cake Cups
Fresh fruit, chopped
First Street Whipped Cream
Easy Instructions:
We filled our rainbow colored cake cups with chopped fruit. Each of my family was able to select their favorites and personalize their treat.
Top your cone with a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!
Adding fresh fruit to cake cones or even waffle cones makes it feel like you’re indulging in dessert. Plus, they are great options for portion control. Beating the Heat has never been sweeter!
You can find all the ingredients for your summertime snacks at your local Smart & Final. Don’t forget you can shop online if you’re looking to stock up while relaxing poolside.

This is such a cute and unique idea to get kids eating a bit more fruit – I have to admit I LOVE fruit and summer is just the best for all sorts on offer.
This is adorable! Sometimes I don’t always like serving treats after dinner but yet we all crave something sweet. So I could do this and it would make them feel like they’re getting a treat but it’s healthier so I don’t feel guilty. Win win!
Such a healthy treat and so refreshing and fun in those cones. I have to try this for my nieces and nephews this summer.
What a cute ideas for the little ones. I know my grandkids would love this idea.

That’s a really great idea! I can see adding some Greek yogurt to it to give it that creamy coolness that we love, too.
Yum, we’ll have to make these for sure. They’ll be a perfect snack.
I would have never thought of this, but it is a genius idea! Definitely adding this stuff to my next shopping list!
Such a fun way to serve fruit. My kids will love this idea!
Such a great idea. I love this! I bet my kids would love this too. It’s a must make. Thanks!

What a fantastic way to treat the kids!! I love the idea and with these enticing treats, the kids are going to love you more.
I like the idea of using ice cream cones as a way of serving fruit to kids! It becomes a fun treat instead of just a healthy one.
Using ice cream cones for fruits is an idea I will be stealing from you. I bet my kids will love it.
My kids will love these fruit cups. It’s such a great idea and I can’t wait to try them!
