Serves: 1
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 dozen medium strawberries (approximately), cut into ⅛ inch slices*
  • 1 large banana, cut into ⅛ inch slices
  • Greek yogurt or nut/seed butter
  • 1 inch square thin slice of mango or another fruit (for the tongue)
  • 2 mini chocolate chips
  • *the bottom pieces near the point will be too small so keep them for fruit salad or freeze and throw them in your next smoothie
DIRECTIONS:
  1. The fastest way to assemble the snake is with a piping bag and a small circular tip. If you don't have one then take a sturdy plastic bag (small freezer proof zip locks work really well) and cut one of the bottom corners about ⅛ of an inch away from the edge- this will make a tiny hole to easily control the flow of yogurt. Place a spoonful (around ¼ cup) of yogurt into the bag then twist the top of the bag around until it is tightly around the yogurt. The top part will kind of look like a tornado, hold that part in your right hand as if you are holding a hammer, thumb facing up. Press your left index finger and thumb pad together like you are signalling "perfect" around the twisted bag up against the yogurt. Holding it this way gives you good control and makes it easy to adjust. Press a bit of yogurt out to get a feel for it then keep twisting the bag as you go.
  2. Cut the mango into a thin strip that fans out at the end then cut a triangle into the fan. Place a whole strawberry on a plate for the head, make a small cut in the pointy end and stick the tongue in. Using the piping bag place a dime sized amount of yogurt on the first slice of banana then place the banana slice on the plate up against the large size of the strawberry. Repeat, alternating strawberry and banana slices until complete. Pipe two small circles of yogurt on the top of the strawberry head then press the chocolate chips on top.
  3. Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, for up to a few hours.
