Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Eating fruits and vegetables can help you “fuel your force!” Starfighter Pilots must keep their energy up when headed into battle, and these fruity TIE tributes are just the snack they need when fighting against the Rebellion!

Fruit TIE Fighter (find this recipe – and pictures! – on the Star Wars website)
Ingredients:
• ½ a banana
• 2 apples
• 1-2 tablespoons of nut butter
Directions:
• Slice the banana into rounds
• Slice the apples into rounds, then trim the edges to form a hexagon

Fruit TIE Fighters

• Use the nut butter to secure the apple ‘wings’ to the banana
• Stand them upright to serve – and don’t play with your food too much before you enjoy!
