Excellent way to make sure she stays fussy, works every time.

The main thing is to make sure you don't make eating a battle ground.
Maybe if she sees her peers eat different food she might want to copy
them? But don't push it at her.

With yogurts she is presumably eating different flavors, right?

It's probably going to take a lot of patience to get through this.

My parents and my elementary school made eating a battleground. Luckily
my range was a bit wider than your daughters. My mother took me to my
pediatrician and ask him to tell me to eat better. His reply was
'Whatever he's eating it's doing him good'.
