I have made this several times with kids: once in a library setting and once in our 4-H cooking club. Kids measure out all the ingredients into the bowls, then put their own portions in ziplock bags. Great practice for measuring skills. We also talk about what groups are represented in My Plate: whole grains, fruit and protein (nuts). Combined with a fruit smoothie or pumpkin smoothie in a cup and you can cover all the aspects of My Plate in 2 kid-friendly recipes
