The Recipe
1 finely chopped apple
3 chopped kiwi
1/2 lime
Optional:
1 Tbsp. chia seeds
Stir all the fruit together in a bowl and squeeze the lime over all. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and stir everything together.
This is one my kiddos favorite snacks and although it can be made with any type of fruit, strawberries are a favorite and must have ingredient for them so when strawberry season comes around this is always the first thing we make. With no exact recipe, you can merely chop up whatever fruit is in season and throw it together in a bowl with a squirt of lemon or lime juice and dip away. I have included some increments we most often use if you would like to follow a recipe, but please tweak away. We have tried this recipe with mango, pineapple, goji berries, etc. But this combination is the favorite.

Follow the recipe to make a batch of whole grain tortillas here or use ready made tortillas. Brush oil over each tortilla and sprinkle with a mixture of 3 parts cinnamon 1 part sweetener of choice (I have used xylitol, monk fruit and stevia powders, all have tasted great). Cut into wedges with a pizza cutter and bake at 350 for 10-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them - I usually go the entire 20 minutes and I use a stone to bake them on.

Where Can I Get Red Clover
Red clover is very easy to identify and it grows wild in a lot of places so this is a good foraging herb. I personally like to have all the herbs I can growing in my own garden, I found some red clover seeds in the sprouting seeds section of Mountain Rose Herbs website. You can also purchase the dried herb from Mountain Rose Herbs, Bulk Herb Store, or Dr. Christopher's Herb Shop.
Caution
Some red clover constituents have blood thinning properties so you do not want to combine it with heart or blood thinning medications or if you have blood thinning problems.
