About the recipe

These kefir ice-blocks are one of my favourite warm-weather snacks for little ones. They’re refreshing, nourishing, and so simple to make – just blend, freeze, and enjoy. And as a bonus, the kefir adds a beautiful boost of probiotics to support little tummies. They’re also a wonderful option for teething babies who want something cold to chomp on but still need gentle, nourishing ingredients.

Age Appropriate

8 months + (or when tolerating dairy)
Omit maple syrup under 24 months (it is safe to have younger however they don't need added the sugars).

Notes for Serving BLW

For babies, I recommend freezing the mixture in silicone feeders to reduce choking risk and minimise large breakaway chunks. They also allow babies to self-feed safely and slowly while soothing sore gums.

Storage for Freezer and Fridge

Store the ice-blocks in their moulds or transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
