The Find: Ants on a Log
The Facts: If you didn’t have Ants on a Log as a child, then your initial reaction to this week’s food find might be “gross! I would never eat ants…or a log…especially ants on a log!” Not to worry…I wouldn’t either. Ants on a Log (from my childhood) are just a tasty snack made of celery, peanut butter and raisins…super tasty and packed full of healthy stuff for kids and adults!
Celery is a great low-calorie snack (just six calories per stalk!) that is an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber.
Raisins are loaded with antioxidants and the energy promoting B vitamins.
Natural Peanut Butter is low in sugar and is packed with good fat. Plus, peanuts provide a good source of protein.
How to make: Grab a washed celery stalk and cut into three sticks. Use one tablespoon of all natural peanut butter to fill in the grove of the celery stick. Top with 6 raisins each and enjoy! The snack has 142 calories, 8 grams of fat, 5 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber.
Enjoy!
What if you use dried cranberries and then you would have RED ants on a log!
