Tubby Toast

Toast bread (whole wheat or other whole grain variety).

Spread low-fat whipped cream cheese on the bread
and top it with sliced fresh fruit (choice of bananas,
blue berries, peaches, kiwi, etc. ) or fresh vegetables.
Children may prefer steamed but still crisp vegetables.

Arrange the fruit or vegetables on the toast in shapes,
designs or faces and talk about shapes or textures of the fruit.
You can also find canned fruit in animal shapes.

Serving size: 1/2 slice of toast with 1/2 cup topping
Credit: 1 bread and 1 fruit/vegetable at snack
