If there is one thing that I could get him to eat everyday, it's yogurt. Up until now, it's been Yo Baby, which he absolutely loves and I feel pretty good about. It's organic, so that's a plus. The drawbacks, two years into his yogurt eating, is that it's pretty pricey and has 13 grams of sugar per serving. So this week I tried something new. I bought my favorite yogurt, Nancy's Honey Yogurt. It's made with whole milk and has less than half of the sugar of other yogurts. It is not at all sweet, so for my little one, it needs a little doctoring.
I add less than a teaspoon of blue agave syrup (use honey if you'd rather), and 3-4 large strawberries, chopped finely, to about 1/2 cup of yogurt. You can use any fruit your kiddo prefers. If they like yogurt, they are going to gobble it up, and it is sweet enough without being overly so, and has half the sugar of any yogurt you'll find on the shelf.
Want to make it a meal or an extra special treat? Add some plain cheerios (I used the generic Trader Joe's brand). That is a favorite breakfast around here.
Got any other mix in ideas - let me know!
