Steps

1
Parchment first, or you will never get it off
Line a sheet pan with parchment. Yogurt frozen directly onto metal is genuinely stuck, and this is the step people skip once.
2
Two cups of yogurt, spread thin
Plain Greek yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp honey, spread about a quarter inch thick. Thicker than that and it is too hard to bite; thinner and it shatters into dust.
3
Fruit pressed in, not scattered on
A cup of berries pressed down into the surface. Sitting on top they snap off the moment it is broken up.
Common mistake: Adding fruit with a lot of water in it, like melon or orange. It freezes into ice chips rather than fruit.
4
Freeze four hours, then break it up
Four hours minimum. Break it into rough pieces by hand and keep them in a bag in the freezer.

Coach's notes

This is the snack that competes with ice cream, and it is Greek yogurt and fruit.
About 8 g of protein a portion, which is more than most frozen treats have.
Do not use flavoured yogurt. It is already sweet, and with the honey it becomes a dessert.
It softens fast in Florida. It is a kitchen snack rather than a soccer bag one.
