Orange Surprise, for the Kids
This refreshing dish takes the classic fruit to a whole new level. It’s simple to make and offers a wonderful combination of flavors that kids will love. Plus, it’s a great way to introduce more fruits into their diet!
Ingredients:
- 4 large oranges
- 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 ripe banana, diced
- 1 cup of yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- Honey to taste (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by carefully slicing off the top of each orange. Use a sharp knife to remove just enough of the top to create a stable base while ensuring not to cut too deep into the flesh.
- Using a small spoon or a grapefruit spoon, gently scoop out the orange segments from inside, being careful not to break the skin. Set the orange segments aside in a bowl. This will be the base for our surprise!
- Next, mix the orange segments with the diced banana and the mixed berries in a separate bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the fruit remains intact.
- If you’d like to add a touch of sweetness, drizzle some honey over the fruit mixture and toss lightly.
- Now, take the yogurt and fill each hollowed-out orange with a generous spoonful.
- Top the yogurt with the colorful fruit mixture, letting the vibrant colors peek through the orange skin.
- Finish by garnishing each Orange Surprise with a few mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
- Serve these adorable treats chilled, and watch your kids light up with joy as they dig into this delightful snack!
