This is the time of year when we are blessed with so many fresh fruits and vegetables! Here are some ways to take advantage of the summer bounty with your children:
Visit a Farmer's Market- have children be on the lookout for a certain colored new fruit or veggie to try or make a scavenger hunt to find a rainbow of produce.
Make Fruit Wands- Stack a variety of cut up fruits on a kabob stick and top with a slice of star fruit for a magical and tasty treat.
Plant a Veggie Garden- Planting vegetables can be a great way to increase your child's interest in trying new, healthy foods.
Veggie Builders- Make a variety of veggie buildings, animals and people out of cut up vegetables, tooth picks and cream cheese for the "glue." The internet or Pinterest can supply you with ideas for this.
Make Fruit "Sundaes"- Layer fruit, low fat yogurt and crunchy cereal or granola in a pretty glass and enjoy!
Below is the much-requested recipe for the fruit trifle that was served at last month's National Senior Health Day celebration:
Fruit Trifle
1 angel food cake
1 box strawberries, washed and sliced
1 box blueberries, washed and sliced
1 large box instant vanilla pudding (may use lite)
about 2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 small can crushed pineapple
1 cup coconut
1 can lite cherry pie filling (optional)
whipped cream
Mix berries together in bowl and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar or artificial sweetener. Let sit in fridge for at least an hour.
Tear cake into pieces and place in a 9 x 13 pan. Spoon pie filling on top. Spoon berries on top of this.
Put instant vanilla pudding mix in medium bowl. Place crushed pineapple in a measuring cup and add enough milk to make 3 cups. Mix together until well blended and then mix in Greek yogurt. Stir coconut into this.
Pour pudding mixture over cake. Top with whipped cream, cover and refrigerate at last 8 hours. This can be made a day or two in advance.
