This post is a quickie but goodie….I have found that if you give healthy snacks a fun little title, kids are more likely to eat them.
My little man is was not a fan of celery. He would say that those stringy things were celery hair and we do not eat hair!
One day he was begging for a snack. Jake and the Neverland Pirates were on Disney Jr. and inspiration struck. I had just the thing that would be perfect for this occasion….Peanut Butter Pirate Ships.
Since we only had crunchy peanut butter, I told him that the crunchy nuts was hidden pirates treasure.
He was sold instantly! He grabbed that piece of celery and began chomping away.
Things got a little messy so I decided to modify the pirate ship into tiny little pirate boats. These bite sized goodies didn’t last long and have become a go-to snack that is often requested by my little man.
Between you and I – they are super tasty and great snacks for adults too. 😉 Happy munching!

You would be surprised. If you call it peanut butter and celery….no way are they going to eat it. But call them Peanut Butter Boats or Peanut Butter Pirate Ships and they can’t get enough.
