Notes

Smart Shopping Tips

• Strawberries should be sorted and washed before use. Discard shriveled, mushy or discolored berries.
• Cocoa powder provides intense chocolate flavor with very little fat or sugar. Find it in the aisle with flour and baking products.

Cooking & Serving Tips:

• Try adding 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to the yogurt mixture.
• Top strawberries with a little granola or chopped toasted pecans.
• Experiment with other fruit such as banana, kiwi or berries.
• Garnish with mint leaves.
• Leftover ricotta cheese can be used in lasagna filling.
• Cocoa powder should be stored in a cool, dark place and should keep for several years.
