*Marketing Guide
The CHEF TIPS:
  • Contains milk (milk and yogurt). Some oats may be grown/processed with 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.
  • The symbol indicates the recipe is whole grain-rich.
  • Creditable grains contribution calculated using the Recipe Analysis Workbook, Method A.
