We had celery that needed to be eaten and I wanted to come up with a fun idea that would get my 4 year old to try it. The first thing I thought of was a snake. This Celery Snake Snack ended up being so easy to make and a great way to get your kids to eat a healthy snack!

Celery Snake Snack

Ingredients:

• 2 Stalks of Celery
• 1/4 cup of Cream Cheese
• 1 hand full of Spinach Leaves
• 1 Raisin
• 1 Roasted Red Pepper or Tomato
  

Directions:

1. Cut the celery stalks in pieces and at a angle using a knife.
2. Fit them together on a plate in the shape of a snake.
3. Mix the cream cheese and spinach in a chopper or blender….
   
4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a plastic baggie and snip off the corner with kitchen scissors.
5. Squeeze the mixture inside of the celery stalks like this…
   
6. Cut a raisin in half for the eyes.
7. Cut off a strip of a roasted red pepper or tomato for the tongue and mouth…
   
   I thought my 4 year old was freaked out by the snake, but it turns out it was the fact that I served him celery. At least I got him to try it! My 8 year old (who I never imagined would eat celery) ended up eating it and thought it was pretty awesome!

   The cream cheese and spinach mixture tastes great with the celery. I will make this often for myself. Try it with your kids and let us know what they thought of it.
