Christmas Santa Fruit Snack

Gear

Ingredients

Serves = 15

  • ½ cup grapes (15 grapes)

  • 1 punnet strawberries (15 strawberries)

  • 1 ½ banana

  • ½ packet small marshmallows or yoghurt covered sultanas

  • Extra long toothpicks

It’s this easy

  • Cut the green tops off of the strawberries, thinly slice the banana into discs, and pull the grapes off the stem. Set to one side.

  • Now to start assembling the fruit! We’ll start from the bottom.

  • Onto the toothpick, thread one grape, followed by 1 slice of banana (through the centre), then with the pointed end of the strawberry facing away from the grape, thread the strawberry onto the toothpick (it should look like Santa’s hat). Lastly, add a small marshmallow or yoghurt covered sultana.

  • Repeat until you have used up all of your ingredients!

Tweaks

  • You could use a small triangle of watermelon instead of a strawberry and kiwi fruit instead of grapes.
  • If you can't find mini marshmallows, you could also halve or quarter larger marshallows
  • Note. Recipe not suitable for children under the age of 5 due to choking hazard (grapes)

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits. Your score is based on the frequency and variety of the foods consumed from the five major food groups mentioned above. No Money No Time can help you improve your score by providing tips, goals and suggestions. On top of this we will provide quick, cheap and healthy recipes as well as credible answers to diet hacks, myths and FAQ’s.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
