Watermelon Pizza
Our Watermelon Pizza recipe is fun recipe for kiddos to help with and it is packed with nutrition! Here’s a recipe that the kids can be involved in by adding the fruit toppings and any other toppings they desire (suggestions listed below). They can touch, feel, and smell the food they are going to eat.
While this recipe may not have a huge amount of protein and fiber, it can be modified to include more of these nutrients by adding crushed nuts and hemp hearts. Adding chia seeds may work really well here too if your kiddo doesn’t mind them. This recipe features watermelon, blueberries, peaches, and canned coconut milk which are a great source of antioxidants, vitamin C, magnesium and can help support a healthy gut, reduce risk for type 2 diabetes, and support the immune system.
This recipe is highly customizable! You can swap pizza toppings according to your child’s sensory preferences and nutritional needs.

Directions
Scrape the coconut cream from the top of the can into a large mixing bowl. The cream should have separated from the coconut juice after being refrigerated.
Whip the coconut cream with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 5-10 minutes. Place in fridge until ready to use. (Note: it will not be as stiff as dairy whipped cream.)
Cut a round slice from the center of your watermelon, about 1 inch thick. Pat dry with paper towel.
Spread whipped coconut cream evenly across your watermelon and top with blueberries and peach slices. Carefully cut into servings and enjoy immediately.
