About the recipe

These spirulina yoghurt drops are a cool, creamy snack packed with gut-friendly probiotics, natural sweetness, and a boost of plant-based nutrients. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they’re freezer-friendly and fun for little hands.

These spirulina yoghurt drops are a fun and nourishing freezer snack that’s perfect for warmer weather — or just teething relief! They’re made with Greek or coconut yoghurt, banana, and a little spirulina for a gentle nutrient boost. Naturally sweet and full of beneficial fats and probiotics, they’re a great alternative to store-bought treats.

Spirulina is a powerful green superfood rich in B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants. A small amount goes a long way — especially for little ones. You can grab a high-quality spirulina from Part and Parcel (discount code BOOBTOFOOD on your first order over $99).

These drops are also a fun way to encourage pincer grasp skills once baby is ready. For younger babies, just pipe them larger so they’re easier to hold.

Age Suitability

Best from 8–9 months+ for younger babies, simply pipe larger dollops or set in a shallow tray and cut into finger-sized pieces to reduce choking risk.

Serving Suggestions

Serve straight from the freezer for a cooling snack or teething soother
Pair with fruit slices, soft toast or a boiled egg for a snack plate
Use as a lunchbox addition for older kids who enjoy cold, refreshing bites

Storage

Store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months
Serve straight from the freezer or allow to sit for 1–2 minutes before offering
These are soft but melt quickly, so serve only what you’ll use immediately

Ingredients

½ cup Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt

1 ripe spotty banana

½ tsp spirulina

1 tsp honey (optional — omit for babies under 12 months)

Method

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a zip-lock bag and snip a small hole in one corner.
Pipe the mixture into silicone gummy moulds of your choice — these drops are meant to be quite thin, so don’t fill to the top.
Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to firm up.
Once set, pop out of the moulds and store in the freezer.

Ingredient Swaps

Swap Greek yoghurt for coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free option
Use pear or mango instead of banana for a different natural sweetness
Omit spirulina if not available — or start with a smaller amount if introducing it for the first time
