2-Minute Snack Tricks
Want to make your kids feel loved? We've
got six simple heart-shaped breakfast and snack ideas that your kids
(and friends on Pinterest!) will fall in love with — and they take just
seconds to create.
Pancakes and Hearts
Here's an easy way to upgrade your pancake breakfast — no cooking or fancy knife skills required! Reheat frozen or pre-cooked silver dollar pancakes and pair them with heart-shaped strawberries and blueberries for a quick (and sweet) breakfast treat.
Fruit and Yogurt Dip
Let a heart-shaped cookie cutter and decorative paper cup
make snack time extra sweet! Simply peel a colorful array of fruit (cantaloupe,
watermelon, kiwi, and oranges work great), punch out heart-shaped slices, and
arrange on a platter with Greek yogurt for dipping.
Fruit Heart
Arrange your kids' favorite fruit slices
into a heart formation, and serve for a healthy after-school snack or
post-dinner dessert. It's an easy and fun way to get your kids excited
about produce.
Orange and Berries
It has been said that "we first eat with our eyes."
Well, your kids won't be able to keep their little hands off these adorable
fruit cups! After you pop out a few heart-shaped orange segments for a festive
snack, save the rinds and fill the centers with berries for another cute, quick
treat that's packed with antioxidants.
Heartwarming Cocoa
Off to the skating rink or practice? Pour
a chocolatey sip that will warm their hearts. Cups and straws in
festive red and white are all you need to transform instant cocoa into a
special treat.
Egg in a Nest
Give your usual eggs and toast some extra
love! Use a cookie cutter to punch a heart in a slice of whole-grain
bread. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan, add the slice of
bread and flip to coat, crack the egg into the heart, and cover until
egg is set. Serve — and watch them smile.
