Recipe: Fruit and Yogurt Waffle Bowls

I have been compensated by the United Dairy Industry of Michigan for my time to develop this recipe. All opinions expressed are my own. 

PIN IT!

The sunshine and warmer temps means farmer’s markets, days at the beach and my favorite: cookouts, complete with delectable summery foods.

One treat my family absolutely loves are these simple fruit and yogurt waffle bowls. Not only are they great for a bit of protein and a serving of fruit, but their fun for little ones to help make, too!

These are great for a summer birthday party, or for any Memorial Day or Fourth of July gathering.

INGREDIENTS

• Waffle bowls {I prefer the smaller ones for the kids}
• Your choice of fruit. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes and melon are good choices. Go with what’s in-season!
• French vanilla yogurt
• Agave or honey

DIRECTIONS

Cut up your choice of fruit and layer piece by piece into the waffle bowl. Place a dollop {or about a tablespoon} of the yogurt on the fruit and top with a light drizzle of agave or honey for an extra zip of sweetness. Serve right away. {You could make the waffle/fruit part in advance, but I would recommend not topping with yogurt until right before serving.}

ENJOY!

Aren’t they pretty?

I prefer to just pick it up and bite in so I get all flavors at once. My girls opted to eat all the fruit inside, then eat the bowl. Immediately upon finishing hers, the 3-year-old asked for seconds. She thinks it’s ice cream 😉

Eating outside in a MSU cheerleader uniform with blankeys nearby is totally kosher around here.
