yogurt Archives - The Diaper Bag Confessions

As parents, we try very hard to give our kids the best we can. We want them to grow and thrive and be happy. What we put into their bodies is an important factor in that.

We try to give our kids the healthiest variety and options – which is why Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Yogurt has always been a staple in our first foods journey.

Not only is it organic, it’s made from whole milk, low in sugar, a variety of flavors, and now — they’ve added the probiotic BB-12! This means baby’s already healthy yogurt will promote good gut health as well.

YoBaby yogurt is the number 1 pediatrician recommended refrigerated yogurt for babies between 6 months and 2 years. I know that it’s the yogurt our pediatrician has been recommending to us for the last 11 years, for all of our kids. We know it, we trust it, and now it’s even better.

With five kids, someone is always coming down with something.. a snotty nose, a stomach bug, an ear infection. If any of those instances require an antibiotic, or just leave them with an unhappy stomach, the added benefits of probiotics in yogurt they already love to eat makes my life much easier. I can rest assured they’re getting what their bodies need when it needs it most.

Available in several flavors, you are sure to find one your baby will love! (Vanilla, Banana/Mango, Blueberry/Apple, andPeach/Pear) You can even buy a non-sweetened Plain yogurt version. What better to add to other foods for bab – or even to make dips out of without losing any of those benefits that make YoBaby so wonderful. (A ranch dip made from plain YoBaby is the perfect exploration dip! A little bit of that, some chicken nuggets and a few fries. Baby is in artistic self-feeding heaven!)

When you have five kids, life gets busy. When you homeschool 3 of those kids, life can be downright chaotic.

When it comes to meals, especially snacks, I constantly struggle between easy, convenient, and healthy. Did I mention my kids are all boys? This means they are hungry all the time. (No, really! ALL the time!)

For a while, I would keep crackers, granola bars, string cheese, and fruit where they could readily get it on their own without a hassle.. but these weren’t always the healthiest or most filling options.

Enter my new favorite household staple! The Stonyfield Whole Milk Smoothies! Let me tell you, these have saved me on more than one occasion. Be it a kid who slept in too late and was about to miss their online homeroom, but still needed breakfast, or the picky toddler who flat out refused to eat his dinner.

I know when my kids grab one of these smoothies, they are getting healthy protein, they aren’t full of added sugars and other junk, they’re organic and they are satisfying! My kids aren’t instantly looking for another snack less than 5 minutes after drinking one.

They also help with me feel better about those after dinner random hunger pains.. a healthier option to stomp out those cravings.

The Stonyfield Whole Milk Smoothies currently come in two flavors, peach and strawberry. Lucky for me, my household is evenly split on who likes which flavor most — but everyone loves them both.

I plan on keeping these smoothies well stocked in our fridge.. they will definitely be our school week go-to!
