Dehydrated Paleo
Fruit Snacks
We made experimental dehydrated fruit snacks this week in Nutrition Expedition! I say experimental because it was just that: we were not sure how they would turn out. I have to say that the first batch I made with the 4's Class on Monday was my first "Pinterest fail", an expression used when a Pinterest recipe or activity doesn't turn out quite as planned :) Rather than the adorable fruit bites I was hoping for, they looked more like corn flakes! However, they tasted pretty yummy! The follow-up batches for the rest of the week turned out much better, but they were pretty hit and miss with the children as far as liking them or not! There were a few children who LOVED them and couldn't get enough, so I suppose we had some success with this recipe :)
If you are feeling brave and want to try them at home, here is the recipe and also a link to the blog from which I found them. There are other flavors you can try, but I was unable to find the white sweet potatoes that they required, so we went with the orange/sweet potato combo recipe.

The infants enjoyed fresh pureed sweet potato and carrots this week! Delicious :) Check out the fun pictures:
