After coming home from Sunday School one Sunday, my kids told us that John the Baptist ate grasshoppers dipped in raw honey. I then asked them if they would try it if I served up some grasshoppers. I got three different responses. Mei Mei said, “For real?” Buddy answered, “I would try it.” And Chico, being the wisest, shook his head and said no. It was interesting that all three of them had a different answer.

I thought I’ll just stick with something that everyone would enjoy. So in honor of John the Baptist, I offered my kiddos toasted multigrain English muffins smeared with almond butter and raw honey for breakfast. It was so good that they asked for seconds!

On a side note, did you know that honey is double the sweetness of sugar? And nutrition wise, honey’s also superior to sugar. We hope you’ll enjoy this healthy little treat!

Note: My raw honey was solid even though I stored it in the cupboard: I warmed it up in a small pot using the lowest heat setting. You can also microwave it for a few seconds.

What are some healthy honey snack ideas do you have?  Please share with us in the comments.
