Tostadas With Avocado
If you want to know what kids like to eat, ask a student to come up with a recipe. That’s how Judith Marquez, a third grader from New Mexico, created this vegetable-topped snack. “I like this recipe because it is simple and easy to make. I mostly like the avocados and the crunchy tostadas,” she said.
Watermelon Slushie
When it's hot outside (or, let's be honest, most anytime), we all crave something refreshing … and you, the mom, hope it's not too sweet. This icy cooler is like popping a straw in a watermelon and drinking it, only slightly easier.
Minted Fruit Salad
This recipe comes from the kids of Tulsa's Global Gardens Rosa Parks Summer Program. After Caitlynn Kirsch and Emma Rehn demonstrated and served the fruit salad, Mason, another gardener said, “You know what would make this salad even better? Nothing!”
Honeydew Salad
Cookbook author Cheryl Sternman Rule says, “The combination of cucumber, honeydew and green grapes, my springboard for this recipe, has enthralled me since I first ate that dish many years ago.”
Banana 'Ice Cream'
Just put peeled, frozen bananas in a food processor with the "S" blade for one minute, then top with raisins, berries, chopped nuts or enjoy as is. Smooth, cool and creamy like ice cream, but with none of the added sugar!

Coconut Chocolate Kisses
These quick "kisses" are a healthier spin on the traditional treat. Pairing fruit with cocoa is a great way to get your kids to down those important nutrients. Plus, they're fun to make—kids love to use their hands and get a little messy.
