Blueberry Lemon Yogurt

Blueberry Lemon Yogurt – a delicious and healthy dessert. 

I’ve received quite a few e-mails recently asking for tips on how to get kids to eat natural yogurt (or yoghurt depending on where you are from.) The e-mails all say pretty much the same thing; their children love yogurts targeted to kids. However, many parents are wanting to make the transition to natural yogurt, as a healthier alternative. 

As I’ve said before, I’m lucky, both my boys love natural yogurt, especially delicious and creamy greek yogurt. However, I have never actually bought kids’ yogurts and they have only had them a handful of times at other people’s houses. They are therefore not used to the sweetness of them and are more than happy to eat natural yogurt sweetened with a little vanilla or fruit. 

I thought I’d start sharing some of the different ways I sweeten and serve natural yogurt. Most of the time I use Greek yogurt and crush some fruit through it. I’ve already shared a mango and lime version and today I’m sharing a delicious blueberry lemon yogurt. The boys devour this one. If your kids are used to flavoured yogurt then they may find this a little sour and need a bit more sweetness. You could try adding a little honey or maple syrup to start with and each time you serve it, reduce the amount of chosen sweetneer until they are happy to eat it without.
