Fruit and Oat Smoothie — A Filling and Naturally Sweet Drink for 2-Year-Olds
A spoonably creamy drink where ripe banana, seasonal fruit and fine oats are blended smooth with plain yogurt and milk. From 2 years old, as a snack or a light breakfast; a filling smoothie made with the natural sweetness of fruit and valued for its fiber, protein and calcium.
⚠️ Contains allergens: milk, gluten
Ingredients
- 1 small Ripe banana
- 3-4 tablespoons (about 60 g) Seasonal fruit (strawberry, peach or blueberry)
- 2 tablespoons Fine rolled oats
- 3-4 tablespoons Plain full-fat yogurt
- 3-4 tablespoons Full-fat milk (for consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands, the blending jug and the cup thoroughly.
- 2
Peel and slice the banana; wash the seasonal fruit, removing peel and seeds if needed, and cut it into small pieces.
- 3
Soften the oats by soaking them in a little milk for a few minutes; this gives a smoother texture.
- 4
Put the banana, fruit, yogurt, softened oats and milk into the blender jug.
- 5
Blend well until completely smooth and free of lumps; a lump-free texture is important for safety at 2 years old.
- 6
Check the consistency; if you would like it thinner, add a little milk or drinking water at a time.
- 7
Serve the smoothie cool or at room temperature rather than ice-cold, in your child's own cup (an open cup or a straw cup), and always stay with them while they drink.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Oats are a whole grain valued for their fiber and slow-release energy, and they give the smoothie a filling texture. While ripe banana provides natural sweetness and potassium, plain yogurt can contribute protein and calcium, and seasonal fruit can add vitamin C. This spoonably thick drink can be a practical snack or a light breakfast on busy days.
