Ingredients
Scale
- 4 celery stalks (fresh, crisp)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
- 2 tablespoons raisins (regular or golden)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the celery stalks thoroughly.
- Trim off the white base and leafy tops.
- Cut the celery into 3-inch pieces (about 3-4 pieces per stalk).
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter (1-2 teaspoons) down the center groove of each celery piece.
- Press 3-4 raisins gently into the peanut butter on each piece.
- Pack immediately in a lunchbox container or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
For best results, use cold, crisp celery. A thin layer of peanut butter prevents messiness. For nut-free schools, substitute sunflower seed butter. Raisins can be swapped with dried cranberries or mini chocolate chips. Pre-cut celery can be stored with a damp paper towel for quick assembly.
