What are the healthiest snacks for the holidays? We all know it’s a
tough time to eat healthy, but here are three snacks that are you
may find healthier than most. Try these – they’re great!
1. Chocolate-dipped Fruit
Kids often love dipping whatever they can get into dark chocolate, so go
ahead and choose some healthy fruits for this fun. Clementines,
strawberries, dried pineapple and dried apricots are some favorite
chocolate-dipped fruits. You can sprinkle with your favorite topping for a
flavor boost: lime zest, crystallized ginger, cocoa nibs, chopped
dehydrated bananas or raspberries. Chopped pistachios or macadamia
nuts make a fun and tasty crunchy topping.
(Yum!)
2. Snowflake Quesadillas
Martha Stewart shares “The snowflake-shaped cheese quesadilla” for a
festive winter snack. It’s simple to make: just fold a flour tortilla in half,
then in thirds. Snip out shapes, unfold, and use as the top of a quesadilla.
Happy Holidays!
(Pretty clever, eh?)
The time for friends and family
has arrived once more. The
celebrations of these days should
be filled with joy and good cheer.
Len, Annette and the whole PCS
team would like to wish you the
happiest of holidays and that you
can spend these days with those
you care about most dearly.
3. Frozen Banana Penguins
Kids love to make and eat chocolate-dipped banana birds (photo from
FamilyFun illustrates the tasty treat). Use dried apricots to make the feet
and beak and white chocolate chips for the eyes. The kids will think it’s
even more than “cool.”
(You’ll love these along with the kids!)
Our PCS family is happy to have
spent some of our time with you
and we hope it has made your
homes happier and healthier.
While each of us celebrates in a
different way, how ever you
spend your holidays may they be
filled with what makes you happy
and what matters most to you!
