* Thick Greek yogurt is the best for this recipe. Be careful because not all Greek yogurts are the same. Stay away from Yoplait and Dannon Greek yogurts that are made with fillers and additives. These don’t hold together well in this application and honestly I wouldn’t want all those additives and thickeners in my child’s system.

If you feel like you need to add a little more honey than suggested go right ahead. Mia likes hers tart. Place the bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes to thicken back up. Slice fruit into large slices that will fit on a stick. Keep strawberries whole. Prep the desired toppings. Chop nuts and chocolate, toast coconut, pour sprinkles…and place on a plate or in separate bowls. Insert sticks into fruit.
