Happy Friday! It's almost St. Patrick's day and also my daughter's snack day at school. They are supposed to bring a fruit or vegetable for snack and when I send veggies, I tend to have them returned home hardly touched...where is the love for the veggies?
Sooo, this time around I decided that fruits were in order, and something St. Patrick's day"ish". After surfing around Pintrest for a while I finally found it, but of course with some modifications, here is the final product:
Ingredients:
Red = Straweberries (or watermelon, red apples, raspberries)
Orange = Oranges (or nectarines, peaches, cuties, etc.)
Yellow = Pineapple (bananas w/ peel on)
Green = Kiwi Fruit (or green grapes, green apples)
Purple = Red grapes (or blueberries, blackberries, plums)
Clouds = Bananas (toss or mist a little lime juice to prevent the bananas from oxidation or browning)
So what were the modifications you may be asking yourself? Well it was cute and fitting for the holiday so I'll share - marshmallows for one of the clouds and Rolos candies for a pot of gold on the other end of the rainbow. Unfortunately, these may look good, they have no value nutritionally, so bananas it is!!!
++My 5 year old and her class mates were quite pleased. Win-win for everyone!!! Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
