This delicious blend of flavors (fresh fruit, peanut butter, and vanilla yogurt) all wrapped up in a flour tortilla, makes a healthy snack for kids and grown-ups alike.

1 medium fresh peach
¼ cup fresh blueberries

Onto each tortilla distribute in a line along the center ¼ sliced banana, 1 sliced fresh strawberry, ¼ thinly sliced peach and approx 1 Tbsp blueberries.

Carefully fold one side of tortilla over the fruit, tucking the edge under the fruit so it’s not too loosely packed.
