Kids will love these bright snacks; parents will love how healthy they are. By: Frances Largeman-Roth, RD
Just 1/2 cup of raw bell pepper slices more than meets your child's needs for the day. The cherry tomatoes offer up plenty of beta-carotene, which is vital for healthy vision.
Never made your own sherbet before? This one only has five ingredients, so it couldn't be simpler! Just blend the fresh mango with sugar, lime juice, and coconut milk, then pop into the freezer can of an ice cream maker and follow the directions for your machine. Top each serving with toasted coconut and you’ve got a healthy sweet treat. Add ½ cup of additional fresh fruit on top and you’re guaranteed that your kids will get a serving of fruit! Kids ages 2 to 6 need two servings of fruit each day. Older kids and teens should get three servings daily.
