Try this blackberry treat

Posted on Mar 26th 2008 7:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
My kids and I are headed to the grocery store in search a few items: Low-fat yogurt, blackberries, and granola. We're going to put these ingredients together -- first the yogurt, then the berries, then the granola, then mix -- and make ourselves a scrumptious blackberry treat.

It was four-year-old Danny's idea we make this healthy snack. His teachers told him about it, put a recipe in his cubby, and empowered him to take charge. That's exactly what he's doing. And so I'll let him take the lead when we're hunting the aisles for our three items, and I'll assign him the role of head chef once we're home and ready to cook. I'm sure seven-year-old Joey will have his hands in the mix too, which is just what I want -- all of us engaged in a purposeful, healthy endeavor.

For those who wish to join us in making this nutritious combo, here's the official recipe: Put in yogurt. Add one spoonful of blackberries (or other berries if you'd like). Add one spoonful of granola. Eat.

Nothing hard about this one.
