With the Olympics starting in a few weeks I thought it would be fun to create a set of fruit filled Olympic style rings for JDaniel to have for breakfast. Each Olympic ring would feature a different kind of fruit.
JDaniel loves fruit and so I knew he would love these rings. He has gotten more particular about some of the food groups he used to enjoy, but the fruit group has remained wide open.
In fact he helped pick out all of these fruits during a recent grocery store run. I love that he picked ones that fit so well into the colors I needed for the rings. I bet your kids would have fun searching for fruit that matches the colors of each Olympic ring too.
The rings are made up of mini whole grain bagels topped with low fat cream cheese and then the fruit. The fruits we used were blueberries, raisins, red grapes, crushed pineapple, and kiwi. We tried to squeeze as much fruit as we could on each of the bagels. If your children are trying out a new fruit, you may just want to put a little taste of it on a bagel.
A great thing about this breakfast is that it contains fruits, a diary product, and whole grains. I felt good about having him eat the rings as his breakfast meal. It would have been great as a main dish for lunch too.
If you are looking for a fun way to introduce new fruits or even veggies to your children, have them search your fridge for items that match the colors of the Olympic rings. They might find that they really enjoy them.
Here are some more Olympic Ring or Symbol themed activities for kids:

How stinkin’ adorable is THIS! I’m going to pin it now!
Really fun idea. We just made Olympic rings out of paper plates. It’s such a fun thing to teach our kids about.
Great idea!!! Have to make for the kiddos. Thanks for sharing!
This is soooooooooo cute
I love your idea
I love this idea! So cute!! Thanks for the blog comment.
What a great idea! We are having a backyard Olympics on Thursday and I am on the hunt for ideas.
Oh, those are adorable!
That’s a really cool idea for snacks.. olympic rings. Will try this out with the kids.
That is such a yummy idea! Off to pin it!
I would feel great about my son eating that breakfast as well! And he would love it. This is so cute and you always have fun creative food. I seriously want this for breakfast right now! Yum!
Have you heard all the UK horror stories about people being told to stop using the Olympic ring motif this week? One guy was told to take down a display of sausages!! Those look great 🙂
Now that is a fun and easy idea! My kids are way too picky with how much fruit they like I need to just keep giving them more options all the time so they will hopefully get less picky.
Cute idea! I could probably sit down and eat all 4 rings at once…except the bottom right one which may just kill me (I’m highly allergic to kiwi). You always have great ideas!
Yummy, this is an awesome idea
What a creative fun idea! My grand kids would love this! We’d love to have you link it up at our “Home is Where the Heart is” Link Party!

This is a brilliant idea. If I was a kid, I would love the small size and the fruit. As an adult, I would like the same thing. I am glad you linked this to My Meatless Mondays. When I first saw the photo, I had a big smile, on my face.
Would you link this to the Recipe Box also? http://bizzybakesb.blogspot.com/2012/07/recipe-box-linky-6-thanks-for-lunch.html
