Yoghurt drink

I believe this ticks a lot of boxes for fussy eaters, bear with me!

1. Drinking is often easier for children who struggle with eating than food.

2. Yoghurt is a good source of protein.

3. Yoghurt is beneficial for gut health (particularly the good quality ones).

4. It’s like having a pouch, but without the pouch 😉

5. You can add fruit.

6. It’s super flexible so you can cater to your child’s tastes.

Recipe – Yoghurt drink

¾ cup yoghurt (use your child’s favourite)
¼ cup milk (can use any type)
½ cup fruit (I used tinned, so it was soft and blended well. Frozen and defrosted would also work). Bear in mind that fruit will add some texture so this could be a challenge for some children. Dehydrated fruit powder is an option to side-step this but is expensive. If your child will struggle with fruit at all, you can use flavoured yoghurt.
½ tsp vanilla
1 tsp honey – optional. Use if your child likes a sweeter drink. If using an already sweetened yoghurt adjust to taste.

Method

Put everything in the blender and whizz until combined.
Drink from a glass or could be added to a pouch.
