fresh + fruity
we love this board for all the protein + fresh fruit plus, most of these items are whole foods, which always makes me feel like we’re winning as parents. i know that i feel better eating foods that can be found mostly in nature + on our table with minimal processing, so sharing these kinds of foods with our kids feels like one of the best things we can give them.
