Gut-friendly Yoghurt Unicorn Slices for Kids
These gut-friendly yoghurt unicorn slices for kids are fun, simple and delicious. They will become a favourite treat among your kids, as they have with mine!
Equipment
- 2 Bowls (small)
- 1 Bowl (large)
- 1 Fork
- 1 Rectangular ceramic dish
- 1 Baking paper
- 1 Cling wrap
Ingredients
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 2 cups Plain yoghurt
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 cup Coconut flakes (or topping of choice)
Instructions
- Place washed blueberries in bowl and microwave for 60 seconds.
- Do the same with the washed strawberries in a separate bowl.
- Once heated, squish the blueberries and strawberries separately until it becomes like a coulis texture.
- In a large bowl, mix the yoghurt and honey together.
- Pour half of the yoghurt mixture into the blueberries and stir.
- Pour the rest of the yoghurt mixture into the strawberries and stir.
- On a sheet of baking paper in a ceramic dish, pour in the blueberry mixture.
- Add the strawberry mixture and use the fork to swirl it around.
- Add the coconut flakes and/or your favourite toppings.
- Cover with cling wrap and freeze for two hours.
- Once ready, cut into medium slices and enjoy!
Notes
- While you may want to skip heating up the blueberries and strawberries, this is an essential step to making that beautiful 'unicorn' swirly pattern.
- If your child has a dairy intolerance, then you can definitely use a non-dairy yoghurt for this recipe.
- I would suggest not using yoghurt with added sugar, as this can impact the benefits of probiotics that are often in plain yoghurt.
- To sweeten the yoghurt, you can use honey like I used in this recipe, or another natural syrup like maple syrup or agave syrup.
- I found that using cling wrap to cover the slices instead of leaving it open in the freezer made it less icy and more smooth.
- You can also add various other fruits to the recipe, like mango, banana or peaches. However, it may change the colour slightly.
