Making Fruit Fun

I was watching a discussion on twitter today about how to hide fruit and veg from your children and my first thought was REALLY?! Surely if you’re hiding it in their food you are basically saying its horrible and needs hiding? Surely the best thing to do is to make it fun?

So in the spirit of this MAKE YOUR FRUIT FUN!

Fruit Salad!

By far the easiest thing to do with any bits of fruit you have left. My boys get involved with this an adore making up fruit potions and even having it with ice cream!

Choose your fruits – remember their taste so don’t chuck in too many bitter ones. Apples and bananas are great for making the base to add less of the more expensive ones. Wash and chop. Add a bit of fruit juice..

Serve! With ice cream, with cream, blend for a smoothie. Or just plain unadultered on its own!

Fruit Kebabs

Strawberries and apples are great for this. Cut your fruit into chunks and spear.

Either lightly grill them or drizzle a little bit of melted chocolate over. YUM!

Apple Smiles

Perfect for Halloween. Slices of apple with a little bit of caramel or peanut butter to keep the marshmallows secure and another slice of apple. Simple

Kiwi Choc Pops

Peel and slice Kiwi. Push a lolly stick into one quite firmly. Dip in melted chocolate and leave to set.

As you can see its rather easy. Just use your imagination like these did!

Fish for breakfast

Banana Race

My Favourite by far!
