Use code CHACHA to save on your order!).⁠⁠

Yogurt clusters are a great kid friendly snack idea!

Ingredients for Chocolate Mango Yogurt Clusters:

• 1-2 fresh mangoes, chopped into bite sized pieces

• 1 cup yogurt of your choice (I used plain, full fat greek yogurt.)

• 1 cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chips, melted

• Hemp hearts (optional)

• Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  

How to make Mango Yogurt Clusters:

1. Chop the mango into bite sized pieces and add to a bowl with the yogurt, mixing thoroughly to combine. Add a sprinkle of hemp hearts if desired.

2. Use a spoon to scoop some of the mixture into clusters on a lined baking sheet.

3. Freeze about 30-60 minutes, or until solid enough to handle.

4. Melt the chocolate chips. (PRO TIP: Add about 1 tsp coconut oil to the chocolate chips to help get a smoother consistency when melting.)

5. Once the clusters are solid enough to handle, dip them into the melted chocolate until they are covered completely. Top with coconut shreds if desired. Allow the chocolate to harden, serve and enjoy!

Tips for these Yogurt Clusters:

• Return the yogurt clusters to the freezer if the chocolate needs more time to harden.

• These adult and kid friendly snacks can be enjoyed immediately, or you can store

them in a freezer-safe airtight container.

• If you are serving these to young babes, you can leave the chocolate off and just

freeze the mango & yogurt mixture.

• If serving them from frozen allow them to sit for a few minutes for a softer bite.
