It’s time to embrace the pool season, kick back and relax. So, when you mention “party” this introvert wants to jump ship! As much as I love to have fun I do not love getting things ready to “party”. So, I’m loving the idea of just relaxing with the family and adding a few simple treats to make it fun. Grab some fruit, skewers, popsicle sticks and iced coffee and you are all set! Here are 4 simple pool party snack ideas:
WATERMELON POPS AND RAINBOW FRUIT SKEWERS
This genius idea keeps you from actually making popsicles. Lazy girl over here loves them! In order to make watermelon pops just cut your watermelon into triangles, use a sharp knife to make a slit on the end wide enough for a large popsicle stick. Insert the popsicle stick by wiggling it side to side. Ta-da! You have watermelon pops!
For the rainbow fruit skewers simply grab up as many colors of fruits as you can (we were lacking in the green department for these). Do you remember your rainbow color wheel? ROYGBIV, people. I tried to stick with the color scheme for these. Just push them onto skewers and you are good to go. Holla!
SIMPLE BANANA VANILLA YOGURT POPSICLES
I shared these popsicles with you last year. They still remain some of our favorites and they are quite easy to make. If you are in a rush these are a great go-to item. Click here for the full recipe: Simple Banana Vanilla Yogurt Popsicles
INTERNATIONAL DELIGHT ICED COFFEE
It really couldn’t get much easier than this. Just grab a carton of your favorite variety at your local grocery store. My favorite is the Vanilla Iced Coffee. It’s just the right sweetness and exactly the right hassle (none). Just pour it over ice and you are good to go! This brings new meaning to Taking Back 10! Hey, I think I’ll take 20 minutes (shhh.. don’t tell my kids). If you happen to be having a few people over for a party then make sure to get out the coffee press so they think you’ve been slaving (just hide the carton). Or, be like me and drink it all for yourself in your pool all by yourself.
Make sure to keep up with all things hassle free and coffee here:

Oh the Banana Vanilla Yogurt Popsicles sound amazing!
We don’t have a pool (or any friends with one), but those are great ideas for our July 4th cookout, too!
I love the watermelon pop idea! It is an easy way to serve the watermelon and I, would guess, an easier way to eat the watermelon too!
Those fruit skewers are great! They’re a refreshing snack, and they’re EASY.
Ha! Those ‘lazy watermelon popsicles’ are just my speed, easy peasy enjoy the breezy! LOL 🙂
Keeping up with the kids all summer will require a lot of coffee! That International Delight coffee looks lovely.
I really like the watermelon/fruit pop ideas.They’re easy to whip up and fun to eat.
My parents have a pool in their backyard and we practically live there every summer. These are wonderful snack suggestions and swimming tends to make me extra hungry!
Those popsicles sound delicious. The fruit pop is a nice healthy idea too.
Those definitely sound like pool party snacks to me! I’d love to curl up with some fresh fruit and a popsicle
My kids always love the fruit skewers! Though we don’t have a pool, they are still a great summertime treat!
Watermelon on a stick is genius. I’d never think of that one myself. That’s great, and would be so helpful for my kiddos! The popsicles look so good too… also, the pool. Wish I had that!
That is an awesome way to use coffee creamer! I must have that donut raft for my pool!

Fruit on a stick is a great idea for the pool. The kids adn I love fruit so I know they would really enjoy the fruit sticks.
I like all 4 of these ideas. Awesome and like the fruit kabobs.
I am not sure I will have time for a pool party this summer. So much to do with work and daughter going off to college in Florida. I am really envious of your fun times in the pool though 🙂 Have fun for me. Lol
These really are great snacks. My husband loves watermelon and I love Popsicles — win win!
I love pool parties! They’re so much fun to have in the summer!
These are some great pool party snack ideas! I am loving the fruit skewer idea the most, though!
I love pool parties! These are some great pool snack ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Those are all great ideas! I really like the watermelon pops idea. It’s so simple. I’m definitely going to make those next time I serve watermelon.
Those Popsicles look so yummy! Perfect for a day at the pool!
So glad summer is here. So many great things to make for the outdoors days.
