variations

add other pieces of fruit or raw vegetable on the plate, such as strawberries or slices of apple or carrot. 

you can also serve with the fruit or vegetable slices dashed with a bit of peanut butter or nutella in lieu of the teaspoons.


additional thoughts

a quick and delicious snack that nourishes your sweet tooth, while providing real energy and nutrition. 

consider this as an alternative to pastry as that fast breakfast treat with kick before you run out the door. 

easy to serve children!  and while getting picky eaters to down fruits and vegetables.
