Creamy Three Fruit Salad
If your like me getting healthy stuff in your little ones isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Yes this does have some sugar the way I tend to look at getting them to eat fruits and veggies is yes dips and some sauces have some sugar in them however it does not remove the vitamins and minerals that they contain. So for me its ok as long as its a treat and the rest of the meals and snacks are less in the bad stuff. This is also is a great kid friendly recipe for them to help make. cutting the fruit is something my daughter loves to do.
