DIY Yogurt Tubes

If you love the idea of a healthy on the go snack for your kids but want to do without the preservatives and dyes, you NEED to try these!  They are good for you and perfect for school lunches or snacks.

I know when we think about on-the-go yogurt, we really have the kids in mind, but friends, you might be hiding your favorite flavors from the kids… YOU will love these DIY Yogurt Tubes too!!

One morning, I experimented with several flavors, and stocked the freezer up with these babies. They are super versatile, and I’m sure you can come up with your own variations, the possibilities are endless.  Here’s what I made:

• Lemon Blueberry
• Tropical
• Raspberry Banana
• Strawberry Lime
• Kiwi Lime
• Chocolate Peanut butter

My personal favorites were the Raspberry Banana and the Chocolate Peanut butter.

A few recipe notes~ 

• I use my Vitamix to blend these, however, a blender or food processor works too, I used a food processor in the video so you can see they both work great.
• I used Greek yogurt, because of the added protein. If you choose to use regular yogurt you probably won’t need to thin it out with milk.
• Most of the recipes use Vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, we just happen to be fans of vanilla, however, I do buy the all natural or organic brands.
• Use fresh or frozen fruit, either works!
• You can use plain yogurt as well, if it’s not quite sweet enough for your tastes, add a tablespoon or 2 or honey.
• For pouring, I found it easiest to pinch the pouch open with my thumb and forefinger and pour the yogurt mixture. from a measuring cup with a spout.  You can also use a funnel. I poured the contents from my Vitamix into a measuring cup, because the spout on the Vitamix is too large.
• We keep them in the freezer for optimal freshness.  Plus the kids feel like they are eating ice cream.  🙂

Here’s where to buy the pouches:

These are the ones I used, they are $6.99 on Amazon.  If you like a re-usable option, they have these silicone molds for $10.95
