Fruity and Delicious Temptations for Kids!

It is quite challenging to get your kids to eat food that is healthy and nutritious. Take fruits for example. Most fruits already look so scrumptious that you're hoping these will entice your kids to take a bite and realize what they're missing. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Good thing there are quick and healthy ways of getting your kids to eat more fruits, like adding these to snacks that are not only nutritious but are also to their taste. Try the featured Del Monte Kitchenomics recipes below to get a hands-on experience on what we're talking about.

So if you ever find yourself alone with the kids with nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon, why not whip up something good, yet filling and healthy for the kids? This quick recipe requires whisking the cream and layering the ingredients, so it's also a good idea to assign these tasks to your kids.
