You don't really need a recipe for these smiley faces. Just a willingness to have some big-time fun! And if you happen to have picky eaters at your table, I guarantee they'll gobble up every bite.
Ingredients
- Whole wheat English muffins
- Peanut butter or another nut butter
- Banana, peeled and thinly sliced
- Raisins
- Strawberries, trimmed and cut in half
- Grapes, each cut into 4 thin slices
- Oranges, peeled and sectioned
Instructions
- Slice muffins in half and toast.
- While still warm, spread peanut butter on each toasted muffin half.
- Top with fruit pieces to create smiley faces. Use banana slices, grape slices, or raisins for the eyes, half a strawberry for the nose, and one section of orange for the mouth.

Serve as a lunch or snack with a glass of milk.
