  Banana Pops:  Peel a banana.  Dip it in yogurt, then roll in crushed breakfast cereal and freeze
  Sandwich Cut-Outs:  Using cookie cutters with fun shapes, cut slices of cheese, meat, and whole-grain bread.   Put them together to make fun sandwiches.
  Ants on a Log:  Fill celery with peanut butter or cream cheese.  Arrange raisins along the top.
  Ice Cream-Wiches:  Put a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt between two oatmeal cookies or graham crackers.  Make a batch of these sandwiches and freeze them.
 

Peanut Butter Balls:  Mix peanut butter and bran or corn flakes in a bowl.  Shape them into balls then roll them in crushed graham crackers.

  Smoothie: In a blender mix an   8oz berry yogurt (the berrier, the better)  ¼ cup orange juice, 1 bananas, 6 frozen strawberries.  If your strawberries aren’t frozen, then you need to add ice cubes to thicken the mix).
