Homemade Coconut Mango Baby Yogurt Melts
The perfect first food for babies! Make a bunch and freeze them, and serve as needed! A great way for babies to practice picking up food!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole milk Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 Stonyfield YoBaby Mango yogurt (4 oz container)
- 1 Once Upon a Farm (3.2 oz pouch)
Instructions
Prep the Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, YoBaby yogurt, and squeeze in the contents of the pouch
- Gently mix together using a rubber spatula
- Place the bowl in the fridge to chill the mixture for about 30 minutes
Make the Yogurt Melts:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place a heavy duty zip-top bag inside a large coffee mug (see photo below)
- Spoon half of the yogurt mixture into the bag
- Lift the bag out of the mug and push all of the mixture to one corner
- Using a scissor, snip a tiny hole in the corner (where the yogurt mixture is)
- Gently squeeze the yogurt out of the bag into little dots on the parchment paper – repeat until the baking sheet is full
- Place baking sheet into the freezer, until yogurt melts are set, about 2-3 hours
- Repeat process with the rest of the yogurt mixture
Notes
- Since the YoBaby 6-pack comes with 3 Banana and 3 Mango, you can easily swap in a container of the banana yogurt in this recipe to make Banana Yogurt Melts!
- If you don’t have a Once Upon a Farm pouch but still want to make the yogurt melts, you can leave it out altogether (although it truly adds amazing flavor and color!) or you can try blending some frozen mangoes and coconutmilk in a food processor to add to the yogurt mixture. I personally haven’t tried this, but either way, your baby or toddler will still love these!
- The first couple of drops that come out of the piping bag may be more runny, but as you continue to pipe, you should find that the mixture is a little easier to work with. If you feel that it’s too runny, you can always fold in more Greek yogurt.
- The YoBaby containers are now made from PLA (plant-based materials), which is better for baby and the environment
