Honeydew and Mozzarella on a Stick

A tried and true method of piquing a kid’s interest is to take whatever it is you’d like them to experience and put it on a stick! This line of thinking has vaulted popsicles and corn dogs near the top of the youth food chain. For a refreshing and healthy snack on the go, honeydew and mozzarella drizzled with honey is a win.

Makes 8 toothpick-sized servings

½ of a honeydew melon, sliced into bite-sized chunks
16 mozzarella snacking balls
drizzle of honey

Have fun piercing the melon and mozzarella on toothpicks. Drizzle with a little honey and store in an airtight container. These may get sticky as they bounce along in backpacks but that sweet kick of honey along with the refreshing melon and filling mozzarella balls will provide a much needed spike when energy is flagging.
