Fruity Frozen Yogurt

Print

It doesn't have to be Summer for this sweet treat to hit the spot! Creamy yogurt loaded with calcium (and, if fortified, vitamin D), paired with fiber-packed and vitamin C-rich fruit can help to put a new tool in your summer treat tool belt. Though lower in added sugar, kids might ask for this tailor-made treat just as much as their favorite ice cream! Just blend, freeze and enjoy.

This recipe includes kid-friendly steps, so encourage your little ones to help. Make sure all helpers wash their hands before helping in the kitchen.
