Blast from the Past with a Healthy Twist: Homemade Go-Gurts!

Blast from the Past with a Healthy Twist: Homemade Go-Gurts!

Remember those squeezable yogurt tubes you loved as a kid? We do too! But sometimes, nostalgia can come with a side of hidden sugars and artificial ingredients. That's why our friend Crystal, a fabulous plant-based chef, has whipped up a healthier version that's packed with flavor and perfect for kids (and adults who still enjoy a tasty treat!).

Introducing Crystal's Homemade Strawberry Guava Banana Mini Go-Gurts! These delightful bites are bursting with sweet and tangy flavors, all thanks to a delicious combination of fresh fruit and Nature Restore Organic Strawberry Powder. This magical powder is freeze-dried, locking in the flavor, color, and nutritional profile of real strawberries, making it a healthy and vibrant addition to these mini go-gurts.

Why We Love This Recipe:

  • Kid-Approved Flavor: The combination of strawberries, guavas, and bananas is sure to be a hit with little taste buds.
  • Plant-Based Goodness: Made with plant-based yogurt and milk, this recipe is perfect for those following a vegan or dairy-free diet.
  • Packed with Nutrients: This recipe is naturally sweetened with fruit and gets a boost of protein and fiber from chia seeds and optional hemp seeds.
  • Nature Restore Organic Strawberry Powder: This key ingredient adds a burst of strawberry flavor and color without any artificial additives.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Whip up a batch and freeze them for an easy grab-and-go snack whenever the craving hits.
