Ingredients

  • 1 small very ripe banana (with brown spots; about 1 cup sliced)
  • 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or orange juice
  • Optional Add-Ins: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, and/or 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place the banana, yogurt, and lemon or orange juice into a blender. Add any optional add-ins. Blend smooth.
  • Serve or portion into storage containers and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze in an ice cube tray and thaw 2-4 for a portion at a time in a bowl in the fridge. Stir after the mixture is thawed as it will separate a bit.

Notes

  • The blended mixture will be a bit browner than regular plain yogurt, but the lemon or orange juice will help it from becoming too brown. (It's safe to eat even if it browns though.)
  • Use bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Choose whole milk yogurt to ensure it's creamy and flavorful, and also has the fat that little kids need for proper development.
  • Serve in a small bowl, in a reusable pouch, or topped with granola or diced berries.
