Watermelon Pizza

If your house is anything like mine, then come after school time you’ve got super hungry kiddos. It doesn’t matter how much lunch I pack, all of the running around and brain stimulation always leads to ravenous kiddos at 3 pm. Over time, I’ve learned that when I’m not prepared with a healthy snack like Watermelon Pizza they end up grabbing for the chips/pretzels/granola bars, which doesn’t fill them up for long.

Like many of you, I don’t have time to prepare snacks in my kitchen every afternoon before the kids come home. Instead, I like to choose simple foods that I can make ahead of time, or better yet that the kids can actually make themselves. Some examples are Banana Almond Butter Granola Bites and Avocado Bruschetta.

Currently, my kids are over the moon about Watermelon Pizza and they get so excited every time we make it. I made it myself the first time, but they wanted to get in on the fun so now I do the watermelon slicing and they “decorate” the rest with their favorite fruits. We’ve been using perfectlyfree® Fruit Bites to decorate some of the wedges because my kids like them so much!

This is a snack I call a win win because my kids love to make and eat Watermelon Pizza and I like that it’s rehydrating with water-rich fruit and full of good nutrients!

Does it Work in a Lunch Box?

Yes it does! I like to mix it up on Pizza Friday’s and sometimes send a slice of Watermelon Pizza as a fun twist. I recommend either putting the toppings in a separate lunchbox section so that they can add the toppings themselves, or adding yogurt or cream cheese will help the fruit stay in place pre-assembled.
