Healthy Holiday Recipe for Kids
Posted by: Dr. Sears LEAN Team on December 16, 2011
In response to our recent Healthy Recipe Contest, here is a Fun, Healthy, Holiday Recipe for Kids!
During the holiday season, kids love to help with all the cooking and baking. While holiday treats are usually not very healthy, there are some easy recipes that can be enjoyed by kids, diabetics, dieters and healthy eaters!
This recipe is sure to become one of your kids’ favorite holiday activity/treat.
Snowman On A Stick
Ingredients:
- Bananas
- Grapes
- Carrot
- Apple
- Bamboo skewers
- Mini chocolate chips
- Pretzel sticks
Instructions:
- You will need three thick slices of bananas, a grape, a sliver of a carrot and a triangular piece of apple for each snowman. (Tip: Use the bamboo skewer to poke a hole in the apple, so it will be easier to assemble.)
- Let your kids slide the fruit onto the skewer. Then use the carrot slivers for the noses, the mini chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons, and use the pretzel sticks for the arms.
This is a great activity for you kids and all their friends during the holidays to make a fun, healthy treat!

Mimi Bessbrowsing for healthy holiday recipes and found this site. my grandkids will love helping make the snowman on a stick & what's better is it's good for them! saw a idea for strawberries where you cut off the pointed end and hollow out the berries. fill with yogurt put currants for eyes & put the top back on. so cute! for jane preston soak apples & banana in orange juiceSarah
Cute! If you can't eat chocolate, dried black currents are small enough to use and make a great healthy substitution.admin
Any kind of citrus juice works. Try fresh pineapple juice for a sweeter option over lemon juice.Jane Preston
How do you keep the apple and banana from turning yellow without putting chemicals on it? If you put them in lemon juice, it will probably change the flavor. Any ideas? LOVE the idea!!! Adoreable!! Thank you and Happy Holidays!
