💡 Tips for the Best Baby Snack Mix
- Check Sizes – Some brands of freeze-dried fruit vary in size. If pieces are larger than your yogurt bites, cut them into smaller pieces to reduce choking risk.
- Safer Snacking – Always supervise babies and toddlers while eating finger foods, especially the first time they try new snacks.
- Flavor Swaps – Switch out the flavors for different combinations: try strawberry Cheerios, freeze-dried strawberries, or peanut butter yogurt bites for a fun twist.
- Homemade Yogurt Melts – Making your own is an easy way to save money and avoid added sugars.
- On-the-Go Snack – Keep a few portioned in small snack bags for quick access when you’re out and about.
✅ Variations for Different Ages
Older Babies (6–12 months) – Keep pieces small, soft, and age-appropriate. Avoid whole nuts and large pieces of dried fruit.
Toddlers – Add fun extras like small granola bar chunks or tiny chocolate chips for a treat (for older toddlers only).
Older Kids – Make a bigger batch with extra ingredients like whole nuts, bliss balls, or snack bars.
📦 Storage
- Store in an airtight container or ziplock bags.
- Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from making the yogurt bites sticky.
