Fruity Honey Yogurt
This is a delicious, healthy, snack or brunch item. We use plain yogurt that we flavor with honey, but any yogurt can be substituted as long as the quantity of honey is adjusted, and any fruit can be layered. This is pretty in goblets or just in small custard dishes. Originally served as part of: The Big Brunch Dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries, blackberries, raspberries berries (frozen defrosted)
- 1 cup plain, low-fat, organic yogurt
- 1½ tablespoons clover honey (divided)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (cleaned and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat granola
Instructions
We start by taking out the frozen berries and let them defrost on the counter in a bowl. We are making a big brunch, so they have about 45 minutes to defrost. If we were in a rush we would defrost them in the microwave.
In a medium bowl we mix the yogurt with 1 tablespoon of honey and taste with a different spoon. We add a little more honey until it is sweet enough for us.
In small custard cups, we layer the yogurt and berries and strawberries. We top with more strawberries and some granola.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Thaw the berries in a bowl on the counter, about 45 minutes (or in the microwave if you’re in a hurry).
