2. Add your chosen ingredients
We recommend adding some yummy colorful fruits like berries, melon or kiwi and some nuts for crunch. Pistachios look especially good due to their vibrant green color. As your child selects each ingredient ask them why they’ve made that choice and encourage them to describe the colors and flavors of each topping. Give your yogurt, fruit and nuts a good stir to combine.
3. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays
Encourage your kids to slowly and carefully pour the mixture into ice cube trays. They might need a little help, or a teaspoon to ensure they don’t spill too much.
4. Experiment with as many combinations as you like!
Encourage your kids to experiment with different sweeteners, different fruits and different nuts to make fun color and flavor combinations.
5. Freeze overnight
Frozen yogurt bites work best if frozen overnight.
6. Enjoy!
