Mini Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins with Strawberries

Have your kids headed back to school yet? My kids don’t start back to school until after Labor Day in our district. That certainly doesn’t mean that I’m not in full back to school prep mode. It takes a lot of advanced planning to get everything organized for our family to get back into the swing of things.

Not only do we need to purchase back to school gear and clothing but I like to get organized also within my central command center, AKA ‘my kitchen’. This means I’m organizing my lunch equipment, all of the containers, bottles, holding vessels that I’ll use each and every day to pack lunches for my daughters. Taking inventory on what needs to be replaced is also a good way to get ready for another busy school year.

 

 

A very important thing I do prior to starting back into the school year is asking my kids what they’d like to have in their lunches. I have a couple of reasons behind this question.

One, I want them to enjoy what I pack and actually eat what I send with them. Two, with a more relaxed eating schedule during the summer it takes some getting used to when it comes to eating a full lunch every day at school.

 

 

After listening to my kids and what they enjoy, I’ve decided that full-on lunches just aren’t something they enjoy. They prefer small amounts of various foods vs. a big sandwich. Bite-sized items such as Mini Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins with Strawberries are perfect for their lunches and are so easy to prepare.

 

 

I’ve found that shopping at Target makes getting ready for back to school lunch packing so easy and convenient. We loaded our car full of Dannon® Oikos® Greek Yogurt and Happy Family Organics whole milk yogurt.

Not only do both of these products make great additions to lunch boxes, but they are also wonderful for a quick breakfast, an after school snack or even an after-dinner treat.

 

 

I got creative and added Dannon® Oikos® Greek Yogurt into the mini chocolate chip muffins. With 15 g of protein in every Dannon® Oikos® Triple Zero Greek yogurt I know I’m fueling my kids for a day full of activity.

I also added in chopped dried strawberries, they add a delicious flavor along with the Greek yogurt and chocolate chips! My kids devour these.

 

 

Along with the muffins, I’ll add a container of Happy Family Strawberry Banana, Oats & Chia whole milk yogurt into the lunch boxes. A wonderful compliment to the muffins, it is truly a family favorite.

Mom is happy to have lunch boxes filled with foods my kids will enjoy and actually eat, that’s a total mom win! Be sure to see below for special savings just in time for back to school at Target with Cartwheel!
