APple SnAckS

"I want my child to eat healthy snacks, but I don't know what to give them.  They won't eat fruits and vegetables"... I get this all the time.  The truth is that children will eat what they are trained to like.  Sounds harsh, but it's true.  But, if you've not done so well with that, and are ready to make a change, these little snacks are perfect because they allow your child to have fun while they're snacking.  My suggestion is to cut the apples for them, and then let them sit at the table and decorate them.  Kids love to sprinkle stuff.  Switch up the ingredients to whatever you like.  Sprinkle any sort of nut, or shredded fruit, even crunch up cereal for use.  This is easy, cheap, fun, and most importantly.... healthy!  Give it a shot.

1 Apple

1 tsp. peanut butter/almond butter

1 pinch of quick oats

1 pinch of coconut shreds

1 pinch of chopped pecan

6 carob chips

1 hungry kid

Cut the apple horizontally into quarter inch slices

Spread nut butter on

Sprinkle your choice of toppings

Eat up!
