🍓 Celebrate National Dessert Day with a Build-Your-Own Yogurt Sundae!
Dessert can be delicious, nutritious and fun for young children to make. Set out a small bowl of plain or low-sugar yogurt for each child and offer a colorful selection of toppings, such as:
🍌 Soft banana slices
🫐 Mashed or finely cut berries
🍑 Soft diced peaches
🥣 Finely crushed low-sugar granola or whole-grain cereal
🍎 Unsweetened applesauce
🎃 Pumpkin puree
✨ A sprinkle of cinnamon
Let each child scoop, sprinkle and create their own special combination. As they build their dessert, practice counting spoonfuls, naming colors and describing different tastes and textures.
Remember to choose foods and portion sizes that are appropriate for each child’s age and abilities. Avoid hard toppings and whole nuts, check for food allergies, and supervise children while they eat.
What would your child add to their yogurt sundae?
