Greek yogurt is a great choice for baby led weaning due to its numerous benefits. Packed with essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D, Greek yogurt supports healthy bone development and aids in the growth of strong muscles. Its creamy texture makes it easy for little hands to grab and promotes self-feeding skills. Greek yogurt is also a fantastic source of probiotics, which help maintain a healthy gut, improve digestion, and boost the immune system. Additionally, its versatility allows for endless flavour combinations by mixing in fruits or vegetables, introducing babies to exciting tastes and textures. With all these advantages, Greek yogurt is a perfect addition to a baby's diet during the weaning process.
Frozen Greek yogurt is an excellent choice for parents engaged in baby-led weaning. Packed with nutritional benefits, this frozen treat provides a perfect balance of taste and health, making it a delightful option for little ones. Greek yogurt is high in protein, which aids in building strong muscles and supporting overall growth. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals, like calcium and vitamin D, promoting healthy bone development and boosting the immune system. Furthermore, frozen Greek yogurt provides a soothing effect on teething gums, providing relief to infants during this uncomfortable phase. Its creamy texture and mild taste make it an ideal snack for babies to practice self-feeding, enhancing their dexterity and independence. Moreover, the frozen aspect adds a refreshing touch, making it perfect for a cooling sensation during hot summer days. All in all, frozen Greek yogurt is a nutritious and delicious addition to the baby-led weaning journey, delighting taste buds while supporting healthy growth and development.
Blackberries are a wonderful addition to the world of baby-led weaning. Packed with essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants, blackberries offer a range of benefits for little ones. Their soft texture and small size make them perfect for baby's tiny hands to grasp and explore. The natural sweetness of blackberries can introduce babies to new flavours while satisfying their taste buds. Furthermore, these berries are known for their gut health benefits, aiding digestion and promoting a healthy immune system. Incorporating blackberries into a baby's diet during the weaning process encourages a love for wholesome foods and nurtures their developing palate.

Ingredient information
Greek yogurt - I have used a plain full fat Greek yogurt as this is the best yogurt to introduce to your baby as it is the lowest in sugar to other flavoured fruit yogurts.
Blackberry - I have used the blackberry seeds to create the eyes of the ghosts.
Serving suggestion
You could serve with extra quartered blackberries, or you could even mash a few blackberries to make a ‘witches brew’ for dipping! You could really get creative with this recipe!
Storage instructions
Once you have your ghosts detached from the baking sheet, the best way to store are in airtight containers or even freezer bags would work if you are careful and lay them flat. You can keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months! Great to make with the kids ahead of Halloween!
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Baking tray - I have chosen to use a non-stick and BPA free baking sheet - they are easy to clean and, if you buy more than one, easily stackable and easily stored.
Airtight containers - I much prefer the click-shut lids on these containers compared to others. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe and BPA free, so very suitable for food use.
Recipe | Yogurt Ghosts
Ingredients
Makes 6 ghosts
6 teaspoons full fat Greek yogurt
1 blackberry, 12 blackberry seeds
Instructions
Start by preparing a baking sheet (or any flat plate) and line with baking parchment.
Use one teaspoon of the Greek yogurt, place on the baking parchment and use the teaspoon to press down, and drag down and round at the bottom slightly to make the ghost shape.
To get the seeds from the blackberry, using a knife cut a side off of the blackberry and separate the seeds until you have 12 seeds. These seeds will make the eyes.
Place the seeds at the thicker end of the yogurt to make the 2 eyes.
Once you have repeated and you have 6 ghosts, place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Hope you and your family enjoy!
Recipe notes
You can easily make this recipe vegan/dairy free, all you will need to do is use a dairy free Greek yogurt of your choice to make the scary yogurt ghosts!
