Fruit & Veggie Fun Snacks - A Healthy Way to Enjoy Peanut Butter

I want to share with you some great fruit and veggie snacks that are healthy and look so FUN, you're gonna think,  hey, this stuff can't be good for me?  But it is!

It's important for me to have protein with every snack and I like to turn to peanut butter to fill that roll. And what better way to enjoy it then part of some creative fruit & veggie snack ideas.


Some of you may have grown up with these: Ants on a Log.  I introduced them to my family last week and now they are hooked! 

Celery- the wonderful food that contains less calories than you can expend by chewing it- 1 TBSP of peanut butter, or any nut butter or your choice and some raisins, you could substitute with cranberries or even chopped nuts. It's crunchy, smooth, sweet and salty all at once. Oh, yeah, don't forget- FUN too!


This is another one of my favourite healthy treats to make. I call them Apple Nachos. Gorgeous right? 
All you need to do is thinly slice an apple, melt 1 TBSP of peanut butter, drizzle it on top of your apples with whatever else you like, some melted dark chocolate and dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, granola.... Whatever you do, you know it will be a hit with that melted peanut butter.

I've said it before... we eat with our eyes.... so when your food looks fun, whimsical and inviting, you can't help but enjoy it, and when it's packed with nutritious ingredients, well, then you are WINNING!
