                                          Notes

                                          • Contains milk (yogurt) and wheat (waffles). Frozen waffles can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
                                          • Sesame can appear as an ingredient in foods where it might not be expected (waffles) and may be included in the ingredient statements as “spice” or “flavoring.”
                                          • Do not overcook waffles. If waffles are too crispy, they will fall off the stick.
                                          • Recommend 6" lollipop sticks or 5½" apple sticks.
                                          • Optional: Serve without sticks. Place 6 strawberries and 4 waffle triangles on a plate. Serve ⅛ cup (2 Tbsp) maple-yogurt dip on the side.
                                          • Choking Risk: For children under the age of 4, you may want to cut whole strawberries in half.
                                          • For breakfast, you can credit the grains or meats/meat alternates in this recipe toward the reimbursable meal.
                                          • Yogurt must not contain more than 23 grams of total sugars per 6 ounces.
                                          • The symbol indicates the recipe is whole grain-rich.
