Paleo Snacks : Bananas

Photos by Jylare. If you saw last week’s FRYday post you heard the groundbreaking news that we’re all eating healthier lately. We know the benefits of making healthy choices, but our kids need a little bit more persuasion. Here are three awesome and healthy snacks that everyone can enjoy!
