Apple Strawberry Fruit Leather – With Hidden Vegetables

Instead of buying fruit roll ups at the store, make your own at home! Enjoy this Apple Strawberry Fruit Leather with Hidden Vegetables.

Apple Strawberry Fruit Leather 

With Hidden Vegetables

I recently made my own Strawberry Fruit Roll Ups and they were a huge hit with the kids and us adults.  Since fruit leather is so easy to make, I decided I was going to experiment with adding in some carrots and greens.  I mean, we do add in honey, and honey makes everything taste sweet and delicious, so why not add in a few extra nutrients?  So I do.  And I was pleasantly surprised!  You can’t taste the greens or carrots at all, and it was still enjoyed by kids and adults.  No one knew I added in greens unless I told them, but it did alter the pretty reddish color some.

You will also notice that I sprinkled in some turmeric, cinnamon, and chia seeds into this Homemade Apple & Strawberry Fruit Leather Recipe.  I add those three ingredients into just about every smoothie I make because they don’t alter the flavor profile and they are so good for you.  Cinnamon increases our metabolism, turmeric is good for inflammation, and chia seeds are tiny little nutritional powerhouses.

Don’t get scared away due to the extra nutrients in this fruit leather recipe, I promise you that it is delicious and definitely worth making.  I already made a 2nd batch 🙂

Notes

If you choose not to add in the greens, carrots and spices - that's okay too! It will still be delicious and a healthier snack option that buying the ones in the store.

I hope you enjoy this Apple Strawberry Fruit Leather Recipe, with hidden veggies as much as we do!

If you have produce in your refrigerator that you can’t possibly eat it all before it starts to turn bad, making fruit leather is an excellent alternative to the garbage disposal!  By blending them and dehydrating them, you create something new and delicious and extend the life of that produce.  You can also make DIY Smoothie Freezer Packs or make your own No Churn Ice Cream.
