They are nature's sweet treats and an excellent choice. You can prepare it in two ways, apple slices with almond butter, and bananas with peanut butter. They provide protein and healthy fats. Fruits like berries and watermelon, grapes have natural sugar and are healthy for the child, and can be blended into smoothies. Introducing your child to such healthy foods would be a healthy treat that your kids will enjoy.
