Healthy Snack or Dessert Options

During exercise class many of my clients and I were discussing how difficult it is to find healthy snacks for our selves that do not contain chemicals or gmo's.  I went to one of my favorite kid friendly cookbooks, Chop, Chop by Sally Sampson for some ideas.

Love these two recipes for snack or dessert options.  Easy to make and fun for kids to help.

Banana-Peach Frozen Yogurt

Need:
 2 overripe bananas
2 c. chopped frozen peaches
1/2 t vanilla extract
1/3 c. plain yogurt ( I buy Stonyfield Farm)

What to do:
Put frozen fruit in food processor til smooth.  Gradually add the vanilla and yogurt and process until all combined.  Serve right away.  Be creative and substitute your favorite fruits- berries, tropical, you name it!


Fruit Crisp

Filling:
5-6 apples scrubbed, cored and chopped
2 T. sweetener, real maple syrup or honey
1 T. flour (I prefer whole wheat)
1/2 t ground cinnamon

Topping:
3/4 c flour
3/4 c old fashioned oats
1/3 c unsalted butter, melted
3 T sugar
1/4 t kosher salt

Set oven to 350.  For filling put all ingredients in pie plate and stir well.  For topping, put all ingredients in mixing bowl and stir well (will look like little pebbles).  Pour crisp topping on the filing and cover apples.  Bake about 1 hour.  Enjoy warm or cool.  Can even serve with your homemade frozen yogurt!

enjoy!!
