Head Chef Notes

I'm getting ready for my small preschool class I teach on Tuesday and Thursdays and I've been brainstorming some green colored snacks for St. Patrick's Day. Here is my quick list if you are looking for some fun ideas for St. Patty's Day. Please email me back (just reply to this email) if you have any green ideas!

Green Snack Ideas

  1. Go for fruit. There is a lot of green fruits that you can cut up into small pieces or make into a green fruit salad. Green grapes, green apples, kiwifruit, avocado.
  2. Spreads. Tint cream cheese or white frosting with a small amount of green food coloring and have kids spread on crackers or oatmeal cookies.
  3. Vegetables. The great thing about green is there are a lot of healthy green things to eat! Lettuce, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, green peppers, spinach and green beans. Snack on these individually or have kids make their own salad.
  4. Green Jell-O.
  5. Add green food coloring to bread dough, biscuits or soft pretzel dough. Shape and bake.
  6. Make a green sour cream dip for your green vegetables.
  7. Make a green milkshake.
  8. Pickles and cheese cubes.
  9. Make pistachio pudding and place in small plastic cups.
  10. Add a few drops of green coloring to a cup of milk. Or add a little bit of pistachio pudding and stir.
  11. Pesto pasta!
  12. Green pancakes. Just add, yep you guessed it, green food coloring to your pancake batter. Try pouring your pancake batter into a clover shape.
  13. Green eggs and ham.

Peel and cut a cucumber in quarters or half. With a knife cut out the insides of the cucumber leaving a shell and the bottom intact. Fill your "cup" with dip, cheese, green peas, chicken salad, whatever you can imagine.
