Fruit Dip (from Maureen)
Ingredients:
Strawberry Yogurt- Any other flavor is fine!
Fruit to dip such as bananas, strawberries, grapes or apples
Directions-
Take your yogurt and empty it into a small bowl. Cut up some fruit and serve the yogurt as a "dip" for the fruit! Toddlers love dipping everything and this is a good way to get more fruit and dairy into them. Stay away from the packaged dips as they are full of processed ingredients.
Another way you can make yogurt dip-
Take 1/2 cup yogurt, 2-3 tablespoons honey, 1/8 tsp cinnamon (or nutmeg) and a very small splash of vanilla and mix together. Taste it before as you might need to adjust the taste to your liking!

Homemade Trail Mix
Homemade Trail Mix (from Maureen)
Ingredients:
Peanuts- Any type of nuts can be used
Dried fruit- Any type can be used we like banana chips and yogurt covered craisins
Chocolate Chips- optional! I like to use the mini chips or white chocolate chips since they aren't technically chocolate and the kids don't need chocolate
Puffs
Directions-
Use equal amounts of each ingredient. Mix together and divide it into separate plastic bags or containers. This one is good for when you are on the go!
