Simply slice up some crisp, juicy apples, spread with peanut butter (or this easy Almond Butter), and top with a sprinkle of coconut, sultanas or oats.
Use paper towel to dry the apple slices (makes it easier to spread the peanut butter on)
Spread evenly with peanut butter.

DID YOU KNOW...
Oats are lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and healthy fats than most other whole grains.
Apples are high in fiber and keep you feeling fuller for longer without consuming a lot of calories. This is because it takes our bodies a while to digest the complex fiber in apples.
Sultanas are a fantastic way of sweetening recipes without adding refined sugar, and toddlers love to snack on them. However, please be aware that they are extremely high in sugar and can cause tooth decay. Their sticky texture causes them to stick in your child's teeth and cause damage until their teeth are cleaned properly. Try not to offer your toddler dried fruits too often, and make sure you clean their teeth regularly.
Try offering food in small containers and bags instead of on a plate. Many toddlers enjoy picking food out of things because it challenges their tiny fingers. Zip lock sandwich bags are an easy option. Some foods you could try are corn kernels, sultanas and diced cucumber.
