Just in Case Fruit Salad

a can of fruit cocktail drained -- save a little juice for after
a container of cool whip
bananas sliced
a small bag of mini marshmallows -- I like the pastel colored ones

mix all together
if it looks a little dry add some fruit cocktail juice --
a little bit at a time to your own liking (you don't want it watery!)
you can add coconut flakes too if desired
Serves 8-10

Apple Sandwiches

1/4 c almond, cashew, peanut sunflower butter
2 T unsweetened applesauce or applebutter
8 slices of rice flatbread
Sprinkling of sunflower, sesame, or pumpkins seeds, raw or toasted (optional)
Raw apple slices, thinly sliced (see Variations)

Mix the nut butter and applesauce in a small bowl. Spread each flatbread thinly with the nut butter mixture. Sprinkle four of them with a few seeds for "crunch", if you want them, and top with apple slices. Put the remaining four thinly-spread flatbreads on top of the apple slices, spread side down. Wrap snuggly in plastic wrap for the lunch box. Makes 4 small sandwiches

VARIATIONS
Try with other fresh fruits such as pear, apricots, nectarines, or banana, each sliced to fit the small sandwich.

Frozen Fruit Pops

In a blender, add sliced strawberries and bananas, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 3/4 cup low-fat strawberry yogurt. Blend until smooth. Pour into 2- to 3-ounce molds or paper cups with sticks placed in the centers. Freeze for 3 hours or until completely frozen.
