Serve A Rainbow Snack!

posted by: Kia

When my daughter comes home from school she’s usually ready for a snack, and in our house, that means either fruits or veggies! We like to make it a little fun buy using mini cookie cutters, toothpicks, cute dishes and most importantly we make it colorful! We like to think of fruits and vegetables as being part of an edible rainbow so everyday we aim to eat a variety of fruits and veggies that are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue! The phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables give them their bright color and each color group provides our bodies with unique health benefits which is why we want to eat all the different colors of the rainbow!

Here is a an example of a Rainbow Fruit Snack!

Red: Grapes Orange: Oranges Yellow: Bananas Green: Kiwi Blue: Frozen Blueberries served on a Super Healthy Kids plate!

Snack time is the ideal opportunity to get your kids eating fruits and veggies! Have fun creating healthy rainbow snacks for your kids!

Happy Healthy Eating,
Kia
