The first is dried fruit. We've bought banana chips for awhile but we know how much extra sugar and chemicals are put on it, so we decided to invest in a cheaper food dehydrator to see if we like it. Well, we do like it but it takes a lot of work for some fruits because you have to slice them uniform and soak them in lemon juice if you don't want them browning. The one exception is Pineapple! Pineapple juice is a juice you can use for perserving the color, so no soaking needed and I just buy sliced pineapple from the store and throw it on the dehydrator. No prep work! They take over a day and a half to dry, can be stored in an airtight container for several days and the kids eat them like candy! Actually, I think they prefer them to candy!
The second snack is one from Ella's cookbook from school. They are fruit kabobs. Just get some kabob sticks, an assortment of fruit, marshmellows if you want some sweetness and cover in vanilla yogurt. Pretty tasty! We had grapes, strawberries, mandarine oranges, apples, and rasberries.
