Tired of preparing or buying simple purees for baby? Reinvent them by making flavorful, interesting, palate-pleasing parfaits!
The concept is simple: combine a sweet fruit puree with creamy, tart plain yogurt (Greek is best!) and add a crunchy element such as crumbled cookies, granola, or chia seeds, if desired. You’ll be amazed at how marrying a few simple ingredients can transform baby’s snack or breakfast into an explosion of healthy, tasty goodness!
There’s no tried and true rule to preparing parfaits; simply use ingredients that baby loves (and that you know are healthy for them!). As a general rule of thumb, combine all the ingredients following a 1:1 ratio, but this can always be modified depending on baby’s preference or age. Let your culinary imagination run wild by experimenting with a variety of flavour combos and textures. You can rest assured that they will keep baby happy and excited about snack time!
