Whacky 10-minute Meals: Fruit Lunch Jubilee

Kayla Creates a Healthy Lunch Snack Tray

Kayla enjoys creating unique meals. Her parents have been focused on introducing healthy alternatives to their diet with remarkable results. Kayla took a moment to create one of her famous "Whacky 10-Minute Meals" or in this case a "Whacky" dessert.

We have subsituted the cokes, candy, chips, and sweets for healthy fruits, homemade juices and cokes (by adding 1/3 portion of carbonated water to the juice, the drink becomes a soft drink - may sweeten with Splenda or other sweetner), nuts (i.e., walnuts, peanuts, cashews, pecans, etc.), whole grain breads and cereals, cheeses and spreads or yogurts, and variety of healthy snacks. Kayla and her sister Kenna have adjusted well. In fact, it is remarkable to see how well they love to eat healthy foods over the typical junk food we have come to love at a fault.

This particular dessert is comprised of watermelon juice martini (no-alcohol) with grape (for the olive), oranges, apples, and pineapple with a "GoGurt" dipping sauce.
