Yogurt with fruit

Tip- Add fruit to plain yogurt

We have yogurt for breakfast at least once a week. I like to use whatever fruit is in season so that the fruit is sweet enough and there is no need to add sugar. Your choices for yogurt are pretty simple. Depending on your doctor you may want to buy whole fat or low fat plain yogurt. Yup, plain yogurt with no added sugar! Your other choice is regular or Greek yogurt. Greek is firmer and thus holds up better with the fruit in my opinion. I like to fill the bowl 2/3 of the way with cut up fruit then top with yogurt. If the fruit isn't ripe I may add some honey or agave.

Here is Landon's bowl of strawberry yogurt...half eaten. 

Bonus Tip- Add granola to it, but make it a low sugar granola. Some kids will like the extra crunch for a change. I like to use granola that has pieces of nuts in it as well for the good fat that nuts provide. You can also add cereal. I have added cheerios to the top when Maddox asked for granola and I didn't have any. 

Bonus Tip- Don't forget to change up the fruit you use as it is an easy way to introduce new fruits. Some of the fruits we love are pineapple, berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries), mangoes, kiwi, apricots, peaches, plums, apples, pears, bananas, or any combination of these.
