Looking for easy snack ideas for the kids? A snack idea that is quick, easy, full of protein, healthy and tasty? Then this is the easy snack recipe for you! And best of all - the kids will love making these simple healthy snacks. You can make it into a ‘snacktivity’!
I make these on repeat with kids in schools. I love that they are getting some fresh produce with the apple and lots of protein from the cream cheese. And kids love shaping the apple as a doughnut and being creative with their toppings!
This is a doughnut or donut with a difference - a healthy doughnut!
