A quick, delicious after-school snack your kids will love
by Laura Falin posted in Life & Home
I always start the school year strong. I have healthy, tasty food for lunches, and hearty after-school snacks for hungry kids. And then after a few weeks, I run out of steam. The kids start foraging for food, grabbing whatever they can find and complaining we never have anything around to eat.
So this snack is awesome, because you can grab the ingredients when you're at the store, keep 'em around for when you need an emergency snack, and have one ready in five minutes. No mixing. No baking. No forethought.
You can even have the kids make their own. Hallelujah.
Along with being a delicious after school snack, these make tasty, light desserts as well. You can change up the fruit -- use whatever is in season, or whatever you have on-hand. Here in Colorado, we're at the end of our fresh peaches and berry season (can we take a moment" I'm grieving), so I'll be using frozen fruit for a while now. That works, too.
Phyllo Fruit Cups
Ingredients:
frozen phyllo/fillo cups (they can be called either one, they're found in the dessert section of the frozen foods area at the grocery store)
fresh or frozen berries, peaches, bananas, or other fruit
plain Greek yogurt
honey
Instructions:
Remove phyllo cups from the freezer and allow to defrost for 10 minutes. Fill with one spoonful of Greek yogurt. Top with chopped fruit or whole berries. Drizzle honey over the fruit cups and serve.
