Cherry Vanilla Whip

What do you do when a child doesn't like a particular fruit or veggie, but you'd really like for them to consume it? You hide it in something tasty!

THE CHILD:

A sweet 4-year-old who comes to my home sometimes on the weekends for care.

THE FRUIT:

A banana

THE CHALLENGE:
Her mom would like her to eat a banana with her afternoon snack.

THE SOLUTION:

Cherry Vanilla Whip - a light, airy dessert-y type snack.

THE RESULTS:
Success!! This was such a phenomenal hit with my daughters and this dear little one - I can tell I'll be making this over and over!

Ingredients:

3 large bananas

1/2-3/4 cup of frozen cherries

1/4ish tsp vanilla (you'll probably need to play with the amount. I didn't actually measure)

1 Tbsp-ish of milk

dash of cinnamon (a last-minute decision, which is why it's not in the photo!)

How to:

1) Put the bananas in a food processor, and process till mostly mashed.

2) Add cherries & vanilla. Process till nice and smooth.

3) Drizzle in milk & cinnamon. Process for an additional 3-5 minutes, until it is light and airy.

The result was stable enough to eat with a spoon. (I thought it would be more like pudding, but it's more like those yogurt 'whips'.)

It made enough to fill 4 ramekins with a little left over - none of it lasted more than 5 minutes!

My daughter took a photo of the aftermath.
This is about 5 minutes after I served snack!!

How do you incorporate fruits & veggies into other foods?

Enjoying good food,

for His glory!
