This recipe was inspired by a desperate mom, aka me. Tell me why my kids always want an apple but never finish it.

I was so tired of seeing half eaten apples on the counter tops, in the trash, and sometimes even UNDER THE COUCH – compliments of the 2 year old.

So now, whenever there are unwanted kid-apples I slice off the bitten parts then throw them in the blender to make an easy apple twist yogurt smoothie.

To be quite honest, I don’t even get upset about the leftovers anymore because it gives me the excuse to whip up a quick batch of smoothies and call it breakfast.

But in order to keep me from feeling that mom guilt it needs to be tasty, filling, and healthy.

DO I NEED TO USE HOMEMADE YOGURT?

No, I just prefer to make ours using homemade yogurt because its cheaper but store-bought regular yogurt is fine to use also.

WHY NOT JUST USE MILK?

The probiotics in yogurt are what make this cozy treat SUPER HEALTHY!

WHAT IF I’M LACTOSE INTOLERANT?

Many lactose intolerant people can tolerate yogurt but not milk because of the fermentation and straining process. My daughter is very lactose intolerant but has zero problems with the homemade yogurt I make because it’s fermented for a full 24 hours.

In order to keep grocery cost down most of our cooking is done using in-season ingredients so when fall comes around I tend to get a little carried away with the autumn veggies, mainly sweet potatoes.

Having to come up with a way to use them all up without wearing out my kiddos’ tastes buds was a fun little task.

Since the babies are already getting those healthy probiotic benefits from eating our plain homemade yogurt I don’t feel guilty about adding a good amount of sweets to it to make it tasty for them because it is still better than the store bought brands.

The kids yogurt brands from the store might as well be advertised as a spoon full of sugar with a hint of yogurt.

Plus, their taste buds are still developing so as time goes on I just put less sweet stuff until eventually they want just the Greek yogurt with a few berries mixed in.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN GREEK YOGURT AND REGULAR?

Greek yogurt and regular yogurt are made using the same ingredients but Greek yogurt is thicker because more of the whey has been strained off.

(If you strain the yogurt long enough then you can even turn it into cream cheese.)
