Fruity Yogurt
Yoghurt is a fun snack that you can mix up to suit any child's individual tastes. It is also an excellent source of calcium
and vitamins, and even helps to boost the immune system. Instead of buying pre-flavored (and pre-sweetened!)
yogurt from the store, why not try blending your own at home?
Ingredients:
· Low-fat plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt
· Fresh fruit, cut into small pieces
· Honey or maple syrup (optional)
· Granola (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix fresh grapes, berries, slices of pineapple, peach, mango, kiwi, or other favorite fruit into low-fat unsweetened
yogurt.
2. For a touch of sweetness, add a dash of honey or maple syrup or a pinch of cinnamon.
3. Sprinkle granola on top for added crunch and added fiber.
You'll be amazed at how good yogurt can taste when you flavor it yourself!
