A simple and nutritious breakfast recipe for babies, featuring ripe banana sticks served with creamy Greek yogurt and optional almond meal for added texture.
Peel the banana, then cut it in half crosswise.
Push your finger into the center of each end to break the banana halves into sticks.
Put some banana sticks in the yogurt so that they are ready for baby to grab.
Sprinkle almond meal on top. Feel free to substitute almond meal for any finely ground-up seed or tree nut that has been safely introduced.
Offer yogurt and banana sticks to baby, then let the child self-feed.
If help is needed, swipe a banana stick or a pre-loaded spoon in the yogurt, then hold it in the air in front of baby and let the child grab it from you.
Eat some banana sticks and yogurt alongside the child to model how it's done.
Store any leftover yogurt and cut bananas in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
