My nutritionist wants me to get 2 fruits per day. My kids are constantly getting their dad to buy them junk. (that's a whole other story) So I'm looking for good fruit dessert ideas for the kids but the qualifier is ALL NATURAL...no artificial sweeteners (Stevia in the raw is ok), no artificial colorings, etc. Ideas I have so far are graham crackers with a T of cream cheese & berries, stewed apples with oat & nut sprinkles, and berries in yogurt. Please post away.

    I once had some graham crackers with peanut butter and sliced strawberry on top and it was really good :) you just have to soften the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread

    I love apples with peanut butter, a bit of chocolate drizzled on Orange sections/slices, cantalope with frozen yogurt, fruite salad with cool whip (make it in a trifle bowl to look festive) pineapple slices with a dab of cool whip....use your imagination....the list goes on and on....

    My kids love when I just make cool pictures out the fruit like a palm tree with banana's and oranges.

    or Fruit popsicles They love that they help make them and can't wait until they are done
