When summer rolls around, I like to have lots of healthy and fun snacks on hand. I prep snacks on the weekend, which helps a ton during the week. All of the fruits and veggies are ready to eat and easily accessible, so, the kids can grab what they want without having to ask!
I have a few fun snacks that are my "go to" snacks during the summer- frozen grapes, frozen yogurt dots, and frozen peanut butter banana sammies. I may need to break for a snack now...
Earlier this week I was thinking really hard about a fun new snack I could make for the kids and these fruity grahams were the result. It's like a mini fruit pizza, but healthified. I swear it's a word. Well, it is now. I think I've used it enough times throughout my posts on the blog that it's justified as a word.
What I love about this snack is that it's simple. Graham crackers, fruit, plain greek yogurt, and a little pure maple syrup. That's it! It's also a fun way to get kids involved in the kitchen. Plus, it saves them from their boredom. ;)
Fruity Grahams
makes 12
6 sheets of organic graham crackers, halved (just break in the middle)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
assorted sliced fruits
In a small bowl, mix yogurt and maple syrup until well combined.
Spread a spoonful of yogurt on to each graham half.
Top with your favorite fruits and enjoy!
Tip for making for a crowd: Place graham cracker sheets on bottom of a cake pan, spread the yogurt on top, then top with fruits. The graham becomes soft if it isn't eaten right away, which would make for a yummy dessert to take on 4th of July or to your summer BBQ!
Miss KK approves these, and she happily obliged to eat about 3 of them while I took pictures of her.
What is your favorite summer snack?
