    other wheat products.
  • Yogurt must not contain more than 23 grams of total sugars per 6 ounces.
  • For breakfast, you can credit the grains or meats/meat alternates in this recipe toward the reimbursable meal.
  • Meats/meat alternates may be served in place of the entire grains component up to 3 times per week at breakfast in the CACFP.
  • Meals as Teaching Moments: The yogurt in this recipe may not be easy for kids to recognize (visible) as a meat alternate component of the meal. Adding a visible meat/meat alternate, such as finely chopped nuts or a spoonful of additional yogurt on top, may help kids learn about meats/meat alternates as 
    part of a balanced meal.
