Ingredients

4 6-inch flour tortillas
4 tbsp. Creamy peanut butter
1 Banana
4 Med. fresh strawberries
1 Med. fresh peach
1/4 cup Fresh blueberries
4 tbsp. Vanilla yogurt

Preparation

Wash fresh strawberries, blueberries, and peach; peel peach, halve and remove pit. For each burrito, spread 1 Tbsp. peanut butter evenly on a flour tortilla to within 1/2 inch of edge. Onto each tortilla distribute in a line along the center 1/4 sliced banana, 1 sliced fresh strawberry, 1/4 thinly sliced peach and approx. 1 Tbsp. blueberries. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. vanilla yogurt over the fruit. Carefully fold one side of tortilla over the fruit, tucking the edge under the fruit so it's not too loosely packed. Roll the folded & tucked portion of the burrito towards the other side; the peanut butter will help hold it together. If desired for small children, cut the burrito in half crosswise, using a diagonal cut. Enjoy!

Cook's Notes

Kids can help wash fruit and put the burritos together, but keep small hands away from sharp knives used for slicing fruit! This is our favorite combination of fruits, but of course the recipe can be adapted to include other fruit on hand, or scaled up using larger tortillas for a heartier snack or even a light summer lunch.

Soynutbutter and Sunbutter are both nut free versions of peanutbutter. You can also use soy yogurt instead of regular yogurt if you have a milk allergy in the house like we do.

@mytwogirls, I would use cream cheese instead of peanut butter (mainly because my daughter really does not like ANY nut butters). Just a thought!

@ my2girls, you could try a bit of agave nectar. sweet but low glycemic and use plain yogurt to balance that out. ricotta creamed together with agave and a bit of cinnamon instead of nut butter and yogurt would be delicious as well. does your daughter's school allow soy butter? technically not a nut though some kids are allergic to soy as well. good luck!

It may not be as healthy as peanut butter, but maybe you could use marshmallow fluff instead. It would be sweeter, but still sticky enough to hold the fruit on.

Does anyone have any ideas for a nut-free substitution for the peanut butter? My daughter's school is completely nut free. Thanks so much.

My son is a picky eater and he loved this. I changed the yogurt to suit his taste preference, but he really enjoyed it.

A healthy lunch my kids love eating at school. I love it because it is a snap to make. I add more yogurt than the recipe calls for.
