This is just a bit of fun! :)
Including Your Baby In Your Celebrations
If you are celebrating St. George’s day this is such a great healthy grazing board that will be delicious to snack on throughout the day, great if a party or gathering goes on for a long time!
if you’re anything like me and always reaching for the snacks for your toddler, you have an all day snack plate for all the family to enjoy.
The Grazing Platter
You can of course top this platter up throughout the day if you need to. Or if you have friends or family coming over this would make a great healthy themed platter.
You can of course choose your own preferred snacks to make up the flag, and make this platter your own, but I like the fact that this platter really does cover it when it comes to vitamins, minerals and antioxidants!
Can I Use Other Snack Options?
You can definitely use other snacks like different fruits to create the St. George's flag. For a white and red food theme representing the flag, you can consider using strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, apples and bananas.
These fruits' vibrant colours can beautifully mimic the classic flag design, adding a creative and appetising touch to your spread.
Get creative with your presentation to showcase a fun and patriotic twist on snacking that is sure to be a hit at any gathering or themed party.
A Great Option For The Whole Family
This snack board is a fantastic choice for a gathering that involves the entire family. With a variety of delicious treats carefully arranged on a board, it caters to different tastes and preferences, making it an inclusive option for everyone. Great if you’re looking for healthy lunch ideas too!
From savoury to fresh fruits, there is something for everyone to enjoy. It invites interaction and sharing, creating a lively atmosphere where family members can come together and bond over good food.
Whether it's a casual weekend get-together or a special celebration, this snack board is sure to be a hit with both kids, babies and adults alike.
This is a really fun grazing board and I hope you enjoy it and get the kids involved when preparing it too! Great if you’re looking for vegetarian recipes too!
Ingredient information
Pear - Pears are super high in fibre, so a great snack for little ones!
Ground almonds - Great flavour to add to the pear, and adds some texture and grip if you are serving to a baby/toddler.
Dragon fruit - Packed full of vitamins, mineral and antioxidants! Worth a try if you haven’t already!
Sourdough bread - Sourdough is better for you to eat than regular white bread as it’s more nutritious and easier to digest than white bread.
Cream cheese - Cream cheese is great whipped with a touch of milk! Therefore great for dipping.
Butter beans - Another protein packed bean alongside vitamins and minerals. These are great snacks for babies and toddlers.
Sesame seeds - A great source of manganese and calcium, so great for growing bones in little ones!
Strawberries - Great for vitamin C and a tasty sweet treat.
Raspberries - One benefit of raspberries is that they are potassium rich which makes for a delicious healthy snack.

Recipe notes
Another great ingredient to use if you can get your hands on them, is white strawberries, these would look good as part of the white flag! You could also use flaked almonds or banana slices.
