Monday Message from January 23rd

make a nutritious dessert

by Karen Ansel, MS RD

Good taste and nutrition belong together – even for dessert. Satisfy your kids' sweet tooth with a good-for-you treat made with wholesome breakfast foods. Try these:

Parfait: Layer berries and cut fruit with yogurt and whole grain cereal. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
Dessert waffle: Briefly heat peanut butter in the microwave and spread on a toasted whole grain waffle. Top with sliced strawberries or bananas.
No-Bake Cookie: Mix a high-fiber cereal with raisins, natural peanut butter and just enough honey to hold it together. Shape into balls.
Grilled Fruit: Slice and grill or broil a banana, mango or peach. Once done, sprinkle with cinnamon, toasted almonds or pecans and crushed bran flakes.
