These little homemade yogurt melts are so easy to make and a perfect refreshing snack! They are a great melt-in-your-mouth treat for babies and toddlers!

Yogurt melts are a great DIY alternative to store-bought melts. These are not stored the same way as the store-bought ones, since those are usually freeze-dried, but they are a fun snack your kids are sure to enjoy! They are made with real yogurt and fruits for a great source of healthy fats, potassium, and vitamin C!

What You’ll Need

Here is what you’ll need to make these homemade yogurt melts:

• Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is naturally thick and great to help the yogurt melts hold its shape.
• Banana: Use a ripe banana for the best natural sweetness.
• Strawberries: Use strawberries that are ripe, sweet, and not sour.

Step By Step Instructions

1. Blend the fruits into a puree and add this to a bowl.
2. Add in the Greek yogurt and fold it in gently until incorporated.
3. Pour the mixture into a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a small cut at the tip and pipe out small dime-sized circles onto a parchment paper-lined pan.
4. Freeze for at least 2 hours and serve!

Ingredient Substitutions

• Greek yogurt: You may substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative, like coconut yogurt. Be mindful that coconut yogurt is not as thick, so you may need to fold in a little more yogurt with the puree in order to have a mixture that is thick enough to pipe.
• Fruits: The banana, strawberries, and mangoes used in this recipe may be replaced with any fruits! Alternatively, you may use a jar of pre-packaged baby food puree.

Storage Instructions

Once the homemade yogurt melts freeze for at least 2 hours, transfer them to a large Ziploc bag, and store them in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Recipe Notes

• This is a great snack for babies once they have developed the pincer grasp and are able to pick up small items with their index finger and thumb.
• When serving, let the melts sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes just so they soften a little. This will ensure that they are not too cold/hard for babies, but they do melt naturally with natural heat from the tongue.
• Do not leave these yogurt melts at room temperature for too long because they melt quickly! These are not an ideal snack for on-the-go.
• You may also use frozen fruits which may help with the consistency of the mixture for piping!
• I love using this nutribullet blender to blend the fruits into a smooth batter!

These frozen yogurt melts are a great option for a quick-to-serve snack, but if you are on the go and don’t want the mess and hassle of keeping them cold you can try these Yogurt Smoothie Melts from Amara. They are shelf-stable, great for travel, and made with clean ingredients with no added sugar. They come in all different flavors and melt in the mouth!
