3 Ingredient Yogurt Bites
Looking for an easy, healthy snack that your little ones will love? 3-Ingredient Yogurt Bites are made with just 3 simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand. These are easy to whip up (fewer than 5 minutes!) and they are creamy, sweet, and delicious. If your child doesn’t love different types of fruit, this is a great way to expose them to new flavors with a consistent and easy texture, which can help start to expand your child’s palette to new fruits. If you have extra mixture, you can fill up some popsicle molds for another way to enjoy this delicious recipe!
Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh fruit of choice (strawberries, cherries, blueberries, mango, etc)
1/2 tbsp honey
1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (choose from some of our favorite dairy-free yogurts if dairy-free!)

Optional Boosters:
Need a protein boost? Add 1 scoop collagen powder or other protein powder to add 10 grams of protein to the recipe
Want an extra omega boost? Add 1 tbsp ground flax, hemp seeds, nut/seed butter, or frozen/fresh avocado
Love chocolate and antioxidants? Add 1 tsp cacao powder
Certain supplements may be able to mix in blended foods, though be cautious as mixing a supplement in a highly nutritious food could cause a picky eater to lose the food/lose trust if it changes the taste drastically. Try it yourself before serving to your child and start with an extremely small amount and work your way up.
My preferred method to get kids to take supplements is the syringe method.
Materials
A high-powered blender like a Vitamix

A note on ingredient quality: If possible, choose ingredients that are organic and non-GMO. Stores such as Sprouts, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, and other health food stores can help finding higher-quality ingredients. If access to higher quality ingredients isn't an option for you, choose the best option that is available to you locally.
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Purée the fruit in the blender
Add pureed fruit, yogurt, and honey to blender and mix for 5-10 seconds until well combined
Pour mixture into the piping bag or into the ziploc bag. Use scissors to cut off a tiny bit from one of the corners if you are using a ziploc bag.
Squeeze a small amount onto the baking sheet based on the size that you want your yogurt bites. You can make these as big or small as you’d like.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
