Easy and Healthy Snack for you (and the kids)

On August 7th of last year, I shared with you a healthy and fun snack that my daughter and I discovered (see that post for the recipe). Well, we have added onto the original idea and thought I would share the enhanced version with you. What is great about this snack -- is that it's great for moms and dads! (As well as the kids).
1. Slice some fruit, any kind will do -- apples, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, cantaloupes, grapes (no slicing necessary), etc
2. In separate bowls put yogurt and all natural peanut butter -- this could get messy, but it is fun.
3. In a few more bowls add colored sprinkles, semisweet choco chips, granola, chopped nuts (find in baking section or chop yourself), colored sugar, etc.
4. Now, dip, dip and dip away. You may have to use a spoon or finger to smear the peanut butter if it does not stick.
5. Make sure to leave some for the kids.
I usually have everything sitting out and ready to eat and share when the kiddos get home from school. Try it!
