Tips

Slice fruit into shapes that resemble face features. Use your imagination and place the fruit where you would like to create a funny fruit face.
Try using low fat granola for the hair for added crunch too.
You can also use low fat plain yogurt if desired and flavour it with honey or cinnamon.

Ingredients
Low fat vanilla or fruit flavoured yogurt	1 1/2 cups (375 mL)
Banana slices	1 banana (18 slices)
Strawberry slices	about 2 small strawberries (6 slices
Pear slices	about half a pear (6 slices)
Apple slices or cantaloupe	about half an apple (3 slices or 1 slice of cantaloupe)
Blueberries or raspberries	3

Directions

Divide yogurt among 3 plates and spread to form a small circle.
Place 6 banana slices across the top of each circle for the hair, 2 slices of strawberries each for the eyes and 2 slices of pears each for the ears.
Place the apple slices on the yogurt for the mouth and the blueberries for the nose.
Use a toothpick to dip the fruit in the yogurt and enjoy!
