 Ingredients:

  • 1 slice watermelon, 1-inch thick
  • 1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup low fat blueberry yogurt

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Cut watermelon slice in half. Then cut each half into 5 wedges and cut off rind.
2. On a plate, arrange each group of 5 wedges into a star shape with the points out.
3. Spoon half of each flavor yogurt in center of each star.


Helpful Hints:

Small "8-packs" of yogurt that come with an assortment of flavors look fun, but actually cost more per serving than 1-cup containers. Watch for sales and buy the flavors your family likes. Be sure and check the "sell by" date on each container for freshness. Like milk, yogurt comes in whole, low fat and nonfat varieties. Yogurt can also be flavored with fruit - even with whole berries! Compare brands and sizes when shopping for yogurt.

Safety Tip:

Kids can arrange the watermelon wedges on the plate, but cutting off the rind is an adult task. Store sharp knives away from young children. Never put knives in soapy dishwater; someone might reach in and grab the blade, resulting in a cut. When young children want to use a knife for cutting or spreading, try a plastic knife or butter knife - both work well!
