Fruit Bowl

We watch our fair share of Sesame Street around these parts. I often think of a clip where the children are being taught that they'll have more/longer energy if they'll eat an apple instead of junk snacks. This is a lesson I want my children to learn. The natural sugars in fruit make it a tasty treat, but it still adds nutritional value and gives energy to their busy little bodies. I keep a bowl of our favorite fruits on the counter for snacks. Fruit is the perfect after-school snack, and my children (though small) have learned how to peel/wash them without my help, so it's a win-win for all of us!
