Holiday Healthy Treats

Not all treats for these holidays have to be sweet and unhealthy. Some of the cutest treats are healthy and very inviting to kids and adults alike. I believe that when kids have an opportunity to lend a hand, they enjoy the snack a whole lot more.

Check out some of these super fun and doable for even the least artistic person.

I can not imagine anyone could not find at least one item on this turkey that they could enjoy. Add a little home made ranch dip and you have a complete appetizer tray.

 

Here you've got a couple versions of an almost identical veggie turkey. Guess we can call the fraternal twins. What I love about these are that they contain some fairly non-traditional vegetables. If you have friends, family and guest that are not big into the meat eating, this is sure to be exciting.

Are you getting the feeling that I should have called this little post the Veggie Turkey? Pretty much leaning that way right now. But, check this out and tell me that you don't want to see this on your table or at an office party. My first thought, when I saw the photo, was that this is so ugly that it is cute. Second thought - it looks delicious. Perfect combination of fruit, veggies and cheese.  Love it.

Don't you think any child would love making and eating this melon adorned turkey? Between the cheese, grapes, apple, pear, crackers, and of course melon - you've got a winner for anyone. Then think about how you could substitute cherry tomato and pineapple if you desire and the you are fast becoming the best parent or grand parent ever.

Last but not least, this little turkey could be a single dessert for a teen or adult or a center plate for a couple of kids to share. A pear body and feathers of apple slices and orange slices, is simple, easy and again, delicious. I'd be tempted to add a bit of caramel to depict the ground and to use as dip. Mouth watering.


That's it for a view of what could be the vegetarian turkey review. Hope there is one here that will tempt you.
