Tips

• These soufflés can be made using any strong-flavoured fruit such as rhubarb, quince, mango or yellow peaches;
• Use frozen berries if they are not in season;
• Choose the yoghurt with the least amount of fat. Low-fat yoghurt contains the same amount of calcium as full cream varieties, so you’ll be getting just as much calcium for strong teeth and bones. You can check the fat content on the nutrition panel of the package label.
• If you have trouble eating enough calcium, add extra yoghurt. Calcium is important for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Some people have higher calcium requirements, including:
  • Pregnant women in the second or third trimester;
  • Breastfeeding women; and
  • Adolescent girls and mature women.
