We make this recipe in classes with kids of all ages and it is always a hit! It is easily adaptable to different fruits and different yogurt flavors.
I have made this recipe in class and for a food bank. It is easy and tasty! It's also easy for kids to make with little supervision. I usually use vanilla yogurt because lemon is sometimes hard to find.
Sherman Extension has made this recipe as part of a teen afterschool cooking class at Sherman County School. It is easy to make, can be adapted to whatever families may have on hand, and is well received by the teens.
