Ingredients

Scale

Bagels

  • 2 whole wheat, plain, or multigrain bagels, halved

Cream Cheese

  • 4 tablespoons plain cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons strawberry cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons honey cream cheese

Fruit Toppings

  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup diced melon (such as cantaloupe or honeydew)
  • 1/2 cup diced kiwi

Additional

  • Honey, for drizzling (optional, suitable for children aged 1 year and older)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bagels: Toast the whole wheat or multigrain bagel halves lightly until golden and slightly crisp to provide a firm base for the toppings.
  2. Spread Cream Cheese: Using a knife or spoon, spread your choice of plain, strawberry, or honey cream cheese evenly over each toasted bagel half, creating a smooth and flavorful layer.
  3. Add Fruit Toppings: Sprinkle diced fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, melon, and kiwi generously over the cream cheese. Encourage kids to help with this step to make it fun and engaging.
  4. Drizzle Honey (Optional): For added natural sweetness, lightly drizzle honey over the fruit-topped bagels, but only if your child is one year or older to safely consume honey.

  • Ensure fruits are washed and cut into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for children’s consumption.
  • If allergies or dietary restrictions exist, select appropriate cream cheese alternatives or fruit substitutions.
  • Honey should only be given to children aged 1 year and older due to botulism risk in infants.
  • Customize fruit toppings based on seasonal availability and child preferences.
