Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen

These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too! 

• We recommend letting the frozen yogurt bites stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes before enjoying them to avoid shocking your teeth with the cold.
• You can easily create clusters by placing 3 to 4 yogurt-dipped raspberries together on the baking sheet so they are touching in a mound. Then, proceed with Step 2 to freeze them together.
• You can grind freeze-dried raspberries using a spice grinder or a mini food processor, but crushing them in a bag is also effective.
• Add date syrup or honey to the yogurt mixture if you prefer a sweeter flavor. You can also substitute ground cinnamon for the ginger.

Nutrition Notes

• Raspberries are at the top of the fruit list for fiber content per serving—8 grams per cup! Raspberries are also rich in antioxidants: vitamin C, which is great for skin health and collagen production, and anthocyanins, which give raspberries their bright color and also help protect your cells from damage. 
• Greek yogurt is high in protein, which is not only beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, but also helps keep you full and satisfied. This, along with the fat in whole-milk Greek yogurt, can be beneficial if you are working to maintain good blood sugar control.
