Baked Banana Chip. I want my children to move more fruits. However, in the wintertime fruits are not as sweet compare to the summertime. Of course, the tricky part is to find new ways to sneak in more fruits to their diet. Regularly, I buy a banana during my shopping trips to the grocery store. First, I want to start with a banana.

Dried Fruit
Dried fruits are easier to store compared to the actual fruit, but do be careful with the amount of sugar used. Moreover, the following fruits can be made into dried fruits raisins, dates, prunes, figs, apricots, and peaches. Also, there are other fruits like mango, pineapple, and berries. This fruit is a source of antioxidants. Furthermore, dried fruit is a great source of fiber.
