Easy Fruit And Cracker Pizzas

By Michelle Myers 32 Comments

We are a family full of snackers over here, especially my kiddos. They will eat a meal and then ask for a snack less than an hour later!

And when they come home from school, they’re always ravenous, even though they claim to have eaten all their lunch! I’ve learned that having a variety of healthy and delicious snacks on hand helps to recharge everyone before our after school activities.

Fruit and Cracker Pizza

I’m not sure what it is about them, but everyone loves RITZ crackers (yes, even us moms).  So, why not take them up a notch in taste and nutrition by topping them with favorite fruity ingredients. These fruit and cracker pizzas as my kids call them, make the perfect after school snack!

Fruit and Cracker Pizzas

Gather some fresh fruit that your family enjoys, our favorites are any kind of berries, grapes, kiwis, and bananas!

Set out some cream cheese spreads, we love the original and strawberry with the RITZ crackers. Instruct the kids to spread the cheese on top of the crackers and then add some sliced fruit toppings!

Prepping a snack is an awesome way for kids to start working around the kitchen and developing basic culinary skills! Not to mention that everything tastes just a little bit better when you make it yourself! 😉

Feeding these hungry kids is like a full time job. Here are some other easy snack and meal ideas for moms:

    Fabulous idea and so colorful and healthy. I would like to make these for a group of 48 children but will they get soggy if I make them the night before?

      Yes, unfortunately I expect that they would. You could try sealing them in an airtight container and definitely storing in the fridge. That might work.

        Thanks for your reply. Actually, I mixed up the fruit with some in whipping cream and some with Yogurt and froze it all. The day of the event I just scooped it into the cones and the children and adults were absolutely mystified with the colors and taste. So festive and fun! Thank you.

          OK…I may have just left this message in the wrong place for the wrong snack. I did do the fruit and crackers as well and they were an enormous hit also. Thank you so very much.

    Easy and yummy! Grandkids and I made them for an afterschool snack and then two trays for youngest’s preschool class snack tomorrow. Next time, I’ll cut the pieces of fruit smaller, though 🙂

    I love Ritz crackers. There are so many fun things you can do with the. One of my favorites is mini pizzas. Put a little pizza sauce on them and a piece of turkey pepperoni. Yum.

    I have never put fruit on a Ritz before, but I am lovin’ the thought of combining the cream cheese and fruit on the crackers. I bet this tastes really good, and probably fills you up nicely.

    Those look ah-mazing! I’ve never thought to try cream cheese on a salty cracker but I bet it’s awesome! Can you believe I’ve never tried strawberry flavored cream cheese, either? This is the perfect kid snack, even my toddler would love helping assemble it!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
