Frozen Yogurt Fruit Bites
Creamy Greek yogurt with finely cut fruit, frozen in a thin layer and tempered until soft enough to bite safely.
Nutrition calculation pending ingredient labels and measured serving yield.
Ingredients
For 10 preschool portions: 5 cups O Organics Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt; 2 cups finely diced soft strawberries; up to 2 tbsp real sugar if needed; 1 tsp pure vanilla. Each preschool portion contains 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/5 cup strawberries; divide the batch into 10 equal portions rather than estimating finished bark by volume. Record whether sugar is included. No artificial sweetener.
Never serve these rock-hard. Temper under refrigeration before portioning and keep cold until service.
Preparation
Stir yogurt with vanilla and real sugar only if needed. Spread in a thin layer on a lined pan, scatter finely cut fruit, and freeze. Before service, temper until soft enough to bite and break into small irregular pieces. Serve seated with direct supervision.
Toddler portion
About ¼ cup softened small yogurt-and-fruit pieces with direct supervision.
Infant guidance
Do not serve hard frozen bites to infants. Offer thawed yogurt and soft mashed fruit separately only when both are included in the individual feeding plan.
Nutrition note
Planning estimate per preschool serving. Verify the selected yogurt and fruit labels and measured yield.
