Inspire Your Kids’ Culinary Genius with this Dairy-Free Berry Coconut Yogurt Bowl!

It’s Mother’s day this week – a day I truly love to stretch out as long as possible because I get to celebrate that I have two incredible sons, who like to reverse our roles for an hour and make me breakfast.

If you have kids, and you’ve been made a “kid-inspired” meal, you know that you might get just about anything on your plate.

There’s no combination that’s off limits.

Last year I got eggs, carrots & raisins in a bowl with a beaming smile hiding behind it.

Not something I’d normally make for myself, but I’ll tell you it was delicious!

Kid-inspired meals have that magic ingredient that can turn any non-traditional combination, any mistake, into a heart melting delicious meal. You can taste the love.

The best part of this love-made food is that it works both ways. Making food for others is a form of nurturing and helps to bond us to our loved ones. For children, making something in the kitchen for a parent or another family member helps to boost happiness, confidence, trust and creativity.

Yogurt bowls are the perfect kid-friendly recipes to get them involved in the kitchen and to their own love-infused masterpiece. No matter how young or old the energy you put into your creative edible masterpiece is felt by those who consume it.
