This is an unbelievably quick, easy, and yummy afternoon snack! We and our mom got a little hungry this afternoon and looked through our fridge to see what we could find. Zucchini and strawberries! We made breaded zucchini sticks (which is now a go-to snack for us) and a quick smoothie. There were filling and delicious, but best of all, our snack was so healthy! Our dad came home early so we even fixed him a little plate and he was very pleasantly surprised at how much he liked it! Thanks, dad!
Here are quick recipes (its so easy, no pictures are even needed).
Zucchini sticks:
ngredients: 2 zucchini, milk, grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and garlic powder. 1. Cut 2 zucchini into small sticks. 2. Prepare the breading mixture by mixing about 1 cup of bread crumbs, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and about 2 tbsp of parmesan in one bowl and pour about 1/2 cup of milk in another bowl. 3. Dip each stick into the milk and then in the breading mixture until coated. 4. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. 5. Serve with a side of dressing or marinara sauce and ENJOY!
Stawberry-Mango smoothie:
Ingredients: Strawberries, mango, vanilla yogurt, ice cubes. 1. Cut the tops off of about 2 cups of strawberries. 2. Blend together the strawberries, 1 cut mango, 3 heaping Tbsp of yogurt, about 1/2 cup of ice cubs and a little bit of water. 3. Top it off with some whipped cream!
*Extra healthy: We used both fat-free milk and fat-free yogurt and they both turned out great!! This also makes the snack very very very low fat! :-)
