Adapted from the Fruit Roll Recipe in \u2018Mila\u2019s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics<\/a>\u2019, by Catherine\u00a0Barnhoorn, author and blogger at\u00a0MILASMEALS.CO.ZA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MAKES: 2 trays \/ 20 fruit leather rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n

A great no-mess, no-fuss out-and-about snack or lunchbox food and a very, very sneaky way to get the vegetables in.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since my daughter, Mila, has been totally against eating anything that looks like a vegetable since she was 4 years old, I permanently have a batch of \u201cfruit roll\u201d drying in the dehydrator. (I call it \u201cfruit roll\u201d \u2013 so that Mila does not know that there are veggies in it. But really, it is 50\/50 fruit and veggie \ud83d\ude42<\/em>\u00a0Little does Mila know that she is, in fact, eating vegetables 3 times a day! Yes \u2013 she gets this fruit roll for morning wake-up snack, in her lunchbox and with her dinner.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not only is she getting the veggies in \u2013 but the superfoods too. And the superfoods are, in my opinion, a parent\u2019s best friend! Ensuring your child has a nutrient-dense diet has never been easier \u2013 or tastier.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mila chooses which flavour fruit roll she wants me to make based on the colour. We have moved on from Purple (which I told her was blueberry), Yellow (Mango apparently) and Orange (Apricot) to Green Fruit Roll! I choose which superfoods go into the fruit roll based on the colour \u2013 green superfoods would alter the colour of the yellow fruit roll, for example. So YAY for Mila choosing Green Fruit Roll as her current favourite!<\/em><\/p>\n

This Fruit Roll is such a great vehicle for delivering Food As Medicine. And with winter approaching, and us needing to boost little immune systems, it is a winner (or \u201cTwo thumbs up\u201d as Mila would say.)<\/em><\/p>\n

PS: Most fruit rolls available in the supermarkets have added sugars or high fructose corn syrup, GM vegetable oils and transfats as ingredients, as well as being covered in preservatives \u2013 read the labels<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
