I always have some healthy snacks on hand that I can pull out and serve quickly, and one of my favorites is frozen grapes. Just wash them and pop them in the freezer, and they're ready any time. I froze these last night. Mm-hmm.
Another easy way to make fruit more fun, along with cheeses too, is to use cookie cutters to make them into fun shapes. It pretty much tastes the same, but my friends always like it this way best.
Those are the quick ideas, but if you want to have a little more fun, I've got a special recipe for something kids love-- pizza. Start with whole wheat English muffin halves and put them in a toaster, or you can use sprouted grain muffins instead. That's what I'm using today, and these are already toasted, so it's time for the fun.
Spread about a tablespoon of marinara sauce on the muffin. Marinara sauce adds an Italian flavor and has less sugar than pizza sauce does. Top the marinara with turkey pepperoni for extra flavor and more protein. Finish the pizza by sprinkling mozzarella cheese on top, and now it's time for the rest.

Now ask an adult to help by putting the pizzas in the oven at 350 degrees for five to seven minutes, or until the cheese is melted and a little brown on top. And that's all there is to it. You and your friends can have lots of fun making these. In fact, there's only one thing that's more fun-- eating them! Thanks for watching Healthy Cooking with Chef Lizzie.

Just a minute. When your friends come over, instead of asking your mom to fix you a snack, have you ever thought about just making it yourself? You might even have fun doing it. Stick around and I'll share some of my ideas. [MUSIC PLAYING]

OK. Just give me a second. Welcome to Healthy Cooking with Chef Lizzie. When my friends come over, it's usually not too long before we're in the kitchen looking for something to eat, so I've learned to plan ahead.
