For a healthy eating snack for mum and a perfect finger food for littlies, these tasty little morsels fit the bill.
Packed with nutrition, they take no time at all to throw together and can be devoured on-the-go.
Feel free to substitute with any other veggies you have on hand such as grated carrot, corn, or finely chopped capsicum.
You can also experiment with the herbs if you don’t have any parsley. Chives are nice, as is some chopped oregano.
These healthy eating bites freeze well and can then be defrosted in the microwave for a quick snack.
