There’s no need to worry about your child not liking their snack anymore, because these five TikTok recipes use gentle textures, familiar flavors, and low-mess prep that kids actually enjoy.
1. Frozen Banana Yogurt Bites
These little bites are smooth and easy to eat, perfect for kids who like cold, uniform textures.
Recipe:
-
1 large banana
-
3 Tbsp coconut yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1 Tbsp peanut butter or seed butter
-
1 Tbsp hemp seeds or chia seeds (optional)
Slice the banana (thicker slices will flatten larger). Arrange on a baking tray, then press each round with the bottom of a glass until just a few millimeters thick. Spread a little coconut yogurt over each slice. Drizzle with peanut or seed butter (thin with a splash of water if needed). Freeze for 1 hour. Let soften for a couple of minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the freezer once fully frozen (so they don’t stick together) for up to 2 months.
Note: using regular yogurt works as well!
