Toddler Snacks & Lunch Ideas
Yogurt Drinks
Yogurt drinks have become extremely popular in our house. My kids would go through entire boxes in the blink of an eye, so I decided to start making them for them instead of buying them because it’s more cost effective and you can control the ingredients. Some of the brands, which always have the desirable characters on the packaging, have so much sugar in them I didn’t feel good about giving them to my kids. You can even buy reusable pouches that are fun for the kids, easy to clean and great for a snack on the go or lunches!

I personally love to store the yogurt drink in a mason jar because they are glass. And my kids (and I) love their reusable squeezey pouch to serve the yogurt to them which also makes them great for on the go and lunch boxes! They are so handy and you can really put anything in them, that is a smooth puree consistency, such as homemade baby foods and applesauce. They are also really easy to clean and dishwasher safe!
