They are snackers which always has me hunting for easy to make healthy snacks for them. The tricky part is that they’re also kind of picky but that’s where snacks like these easy Apple Nachos fit perfectly into our lives!
If you have finicky eaters in your house, mastering this Apple Nachos recipe can be a great way to get more fruit into their diets. They’ll think they’re having a treat because they’re pretty hard to resist!
Easy to Make Apple Nachos
We’re such a busy family and Weston is pretty picky when it comes to food. So I often find myself depending on the same rotation of snacks week after week. I need healthy snack options that are also great for on the go. Some of the things I often pack in the bag I take to baseball and dance class.
- Apples
- Mandarin oranges
- Grapes
- Yogurt raisins
- Baked Crackers
- Pretzels
- Popcorn
- Cheese sticks
- Applesauce pouches
- Fruit snacks (yes, these come along with us regularly even if they might not be the healthiest options)
I recently learned that up to 90% of Americans aren’t getting enough fruits and vegetables. And up to 90% of us might be falling short of getting the key nutrients we need each day!
This is a weakness I know that we have in my busy family. This is why New! One A Day with Nature’s Medley has become part of our daily routine for nutritional support. It’s my new secret weapon in helping me care for my family.
They’re helping me up my nutrition game!
A great daily multivitamin helps me fill in the nutritional gaps we might have. It’s available for Men, Women, and Kids ages 4 and up. The gummies are free from artificial flavors and sweeteners.
They also helped me realize that I needed to up my healthy snack game a bit. This is how I discovered apple nachos.
They’re not a snack that can travel well, but they’re perfect for those afternoons when we’re all together. It’s easy to make these fruit nachos a completely healthy snack for kids. But it’s also easy to tweak the healthy apple nachos just a bit and turn them into a healthier sweet treat.
Apple Nachos Ingredients
For this batch of Apple Nachos, we used the following ingredients.
- 1-2 Honeycrisp apples, sliced
- 1/2 cup French vanilla yogurt dip
- 4 large strawberries, diced
- 15-20 fresh blueberries
- 1/2 kiwi, diced
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup chocolate peanut butter candy bits (this was where we splurged a bit for this batch!)
Our recipe is a twist basic fruit slices and fruit dip. If your kids are picky eaters, I suggest trying apple slices and a yogurt type of fruit dip. Then you can branch into fruit-based snacks with a bit more to them like apple nachos. Or just use your fruit dip and apple slices to make a basic dish of healthy apple nachos!
I love an easy recipe that I can adapt for different members of the family.
Apple Nachos Recipe
1. Arrange your apple fries/slices on a plate.
2. Use a pastry bag or a small sandwich bag (snip the corner) to drizzle the yogurt over the apples.
3. Sprinkle remaining ingredients on top of apples.
4. Drizzle with more yogurt dip, if desired.
5. Enjoy together!
You can make this recipe in minutes! Sometimes I buy the pre-cut apple slices or apple fries and let the kids make their own apple nachos. They love making their own snacks independently!
