So my family is invited to a 4th of July BBQ. Yay! Free food! lol. But…. that means chips and salsa, and probably cake, and all of the other foods that are not on my diet right now….. *sigh*.
So after a short pity party where I agonized over how I was going to eat at the party and what I was going to eat at the party, I hopped on Pinterest and started hunting up recipe ideas for the party. I found a whole list of healthy 4th of July dishes that you can check out.
While I was looking, I became inspired to make my own twist on some of the ideas I saw. So I made this quick and easy frozen yogurt fruit flag. It’s not glamorous, but it’s super easy, tastes good, and it’s healthy.
Quick and Easy Frozen Yogurt Fruit Flag
Ingredients
I kept it really simple because I am not a fancy cook y’all. I used vanilla yogurt, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. To make it the only equipment I needed was wax paper and a cookie sheet.
You definitely want to make sure you use the wax paper. It’s super easy to peel off of the yogurt once it’s frozen.
How to make it
So this recipe is super easy to make. Simply place the wax paper on the cookie sheet, spread the vanilla yogurt evenly over the paper, place your berries in the design of the American Flag, and freeze it. That’s it! Simple right? My kids thought I was a rock star when I made it lol.
Feel free to customize your own frozen yogurt fruit flag with other flavors of yogurt, different types of fruit, or other toppings. I will definitely be experimenting with some other designs for other holidays as well.
