We have a confession to make: We make these for ourselves… like all the time. But when we do, we call them Ricotta Rice Cakes with Seasonal Fruit & Honey Drizzle. We’ve even been known to add a sprig of mint for visual appeal. Because we’re fancy like that. But let’s be honest: Kids don’t care about fancy, restaurant-worthy recipe names or sprigs of fresh mint. They care about pizza… like a lot. So tell them you’re whipping up this fruity version and you’ll have their full attention. Featuring whole grain rice cakes with a ricotta spread and topped with fresh fruit and sweetener of your choice (maple syrup also pairs really well with the ricotta), this tasty treat has fiber, calcium, vitamins C and D, and a whole host of other nutrients your kiddies need. But when they’re all rolled up into this pretty pizza package, you won’t have to do any work convincing your kids to eat them.
2 Hangry Moms Hack: If your kids don’t seem to take to ricotta cheese, try subbing in cream cheese. Also, for an extra sweet and nutritious kick, consider topping the cheese with our popular Chia Seed Jam found in this recipe round-up: 6 Healthy After-School Snacks Kids (& Moms!) Will Love.
