serves 1 snack

inspired by my kitchen visitor this morning who was nice enough to pose for the picture

Ingredients

  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 5 dried goji berries, soaked for 1 hour
  • 1 sprinkle chia seeds,pictured, or poppy or black sesame if you like that peppery taste

Preparation

1.wash and dry celery.

2.fill with almond butter.

3.sprinkle berries with seeds.

4.place berries across almond butter.

a variation kids should like:top sliced apple,pear,banana the same way…ladybugs on a raft?..sprinkle the fruit slices with lemon or orange juice if making ahead (to slow browning)sprinkle with cinnamon too before adding “the ladies”

Cool, I love the title! Reminds me of the Ants On a Log dish you order at Szechuan restaurants.
