Rainbow Fruit Pizza Recipe

Prep time: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Servings: 6 mini pizzas or 1 large

 Ingredients:

For the base (choose one):

• Whole grain pita bread

• Rice cakes

• Watermelon slices (cut into rounds)

For the “pizza sauce”:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

• A dash of cinnamon (optional)

For the rainbow toppings (mix and match!):

• Red: Strawberries, raspberries, cherries

• Orange: Mandarin slices, cantaloupe

• Yellow: Pineapple, banana slices, mango

• Green: Kiwi, green grapes, cucumber

• Blue: Blueberries

• Purple: Blackberries, purple grapes

Steps:

1. Prepare your base

   Let your child choose their favorite healthy base, pita, rice cake, or watermelon slice. Place it on a plate like a pizza crust.

2. Mix the sauce

   In a bowl, stir the yogurt with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Hand your child a spoon or spatula and let them spread a generous layer onto their “pizza.”

3. Create your rainbow

   Now the fun begins! Arrange the fruits in rainbow order (or let their creativity run wild). You can talk about colors, shapes, and even count the fruit as you go.

4. Add a crunchy bonus (optional)

   Sprinkle with chia seeds, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes for extra texture and nutrients.

5. Time to eat!

   Serve immediately and enjoy a sweet, refreshing treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Tips for Grown-Ups:

• Set everything up in little bowls to make it feel like a DIY “pizza bar.”

• Use child-safe knives for cutting soft fruits, a great opportunity to practice safe kitchen skills.

• Talk about the health benefits of each color (“Red fruits help your heart!”).
  
  Whether it’s for a sunny picnic, an afternoon snack, or even a playful breakfast, Rainbow Fruit Pizza is sure to be a hit with kids and grown ups. Best of all, it brings color, laughter, and health to your table, the perfect way to kick off summer.
