Adam: Avocado- Spread smashed avocado on a few whole-grain crackers.
Hannah: Hummus- Dip a variety of raw veggies into this Middle Eastern dip or spread.
Kyle: Kiwi- Simply cut the fruit in half and scoop with a spoon.
Paige: Pistachios- Have your kids count the nuts before eating, and then count the shells after. Show them that there are now twice as many shell pieces than when they started.
