Mermaid season is coming to an end just summer does. But, I thought that I would get one more good mermaid inspired dish out there before then. With back-to-school hot on our heels I thought that a perfectly simple and oh-so desirable on-the-go breakfast, snack, or treat would be the way to go.

This is one of those delicious snacks that are better-for-you but take little time or effort, making it perfect for back-to-school chaos.

I started out this magical toast with a nice cut of my favorite organic white bread. It's sturdy enough to stand up to the toppings we'll be adding. Piled up on top of the toasted bread is a nice thick layer of cream cheese and my favorite Horizon® organic Yogurt blended together; divided evenly, and colored beautifully with natural food colors to suit our theme here. For a mermaid inspired touch I added on some topical fresh fruits that I cut out into sweet little flowers.

There are 5 flavors of Horizon Organic Yogurt Cups (Vanilla, Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, and Key Lime). I love the fact that each bite of Horizon Organic Yogurt offers live and active cultures to help keep both little and big tummies happy. Not only can the kiddos eat Horizon Organic Yogurt straight from the cup, but it can also be used as a fun mix in for cereal, fruit salad, or even atop toast!
