Frozen Strawberry Yoghurt Bowl
Looking for a delicious breakfast option for your little ones that is so good you can serve it as a dessert? This frozen strawberry yoghurt bowl has been taking the internet by storm recently, and I just had to try it for myself!
It’s so easy to make - all you need is your favourite yoghurt and some frozen fruit of your choice. I opted for natural, unsweetened yoghurt, but you could also use a creamy Greek yoghurt or for any dairy-free family members, you can use coconut yoghurt.
But I couldn’t resist adding a touch of sweetness to mine, so I drizzled it with some raw honey. You guys have to give this recipe a try, the frozen fruit freezes the yoghurt making it taste like ice cream.
