One of my goals for this year was to work on more snack recipes for Grayson. I love having something that’s easy to grab and ready for him to eat when he’s fussy or when meals aren’t quite ready yet but he is looking for food.
Right now Grayson loves pretty much anything that will melt in his mouth, and if it’s cold thats even better because if helps so much with teething! So why are these yogurt drops so great?
- They’re naturally sweetened with no added sugars
- Lots of protein
- Kept frozen, great for teething
- Flavour possibilities are endless
For my first batch, I decided to make mango which is Graysons favourite fruit right now. For the second batch I made blueberry kale (which I like to call kaleberry). Want to find out how to make them? Lets go.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt*
- 3 tbsp fruit/veggie puree of choice*
*plain Greek yogurt means no sugar added. You can choose any percentage of fat that you like, the higher fat the smoother the yogurt will be.
*get creative, what’s your babies favourite?
Preparation:
- Puree your fruit or veggies in a food processor or blender until completely smooth, no chunks. Add 1 tbsp water a time if you need to thin it out to puree properly
- Mix Greek yogurt with fruit puree in a bowl
- Transfer mixture into either a piping bag, plastic baggie, or pastry decorating squeeze bottle (this is what I used because I had one, but all options work fine). If you’re using a plastic baggie, cut bottom corner tip off after you’ve filled it
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop small round dots onto the paper from your piping bag/squeeze bottle
- Once your baking sheet is full, place in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or overnight
- Once the drops are frozen, pop them off the parchment paper and place in an airtight container, return to freezer
These drops melt quickly, when offering them to baby only take a small handful out at time.
