Yummy, wintery, fruity snack ideas wanted!

[Jezabelle]

I like giving DDs (5 and 2) a snack when DD1 gets in from school. In the summer months we did lots of homemade fruit ice lollies and smoothies, (just milk, banana, berries etc). They saw these as a treat but I knew they were getting part of their 5 a day!

Just made a smoothie and realised that it's less appealling now it's getting colder. I would like an alternative to the hot chocolate and biscuit request that is so tempting in winter, (not that I mind them having that from time to time, just want other options too!)

Mini fruit crumbles in ramekins?
Flapjacks with grated apple and dried fruit in?
Warm stewed fruit with a little custard or ice cream?
Baked bananas in skins with a little honey and yoghurt?

I have this for breakfast,but it works well as a snack or as a pudding. I can't remember which book it's from.

Cut a peach in half,and add some berries,raspberries,blackberries or strawberries,if using strawberries I usually slice them,and soak the fruit in a little orange juice and honey for a minute,then spoon the fruit over the peach halves,and pour over the juice,place in a baking dish for 8 minutes at 180,and serve with Greek yoghurt.

The fruit cools quickly,so can be eaten almost at once.

DS2 likes beans on toast

That should be soak the berries,not the peaches too sorry.

Flap jacks is a great idea, I'll google for a good recipe. I quite fancy stewed fruit too, I have apples and pears in the garden at the mo. I'll try your recipe Letthereberock when I find peaches on offer! Nothing wrong with beans on toast Lancelottie, but more of a meal than a snack in my book!

Keep 'em coming!

Yes, should perhaps have said that DS is 13, has size 9 feet, ribs like a xylophone and eats for Britain. I think he may be about to grow.

I like a mix of fresh and dried fruit simmered in some dilute apple juice and cinnamon! Pears, peaches, figs, prunes, apples and blackberries all work well.
Top with greek yoghurt - nice breakfast too!
