This is our Pouch Project take on the popular strawberry, yoghurt and chia breakfast pouch — recreated at home in just 2 minutes. It’s a cheaper, more nutritious option made with simple, everyday ingredients. While it isn’t shelf-stable like the commercial version, it can easily be made fresh and popped into an insulated smoothie bottle to enjoy later. Same flavours kids love, with more control over ingredients and nutrition.

Strawberry & Chia Yogurt Brekky Puree

• 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt (130G) 
• 3 Strawberries (60G) 
• 1 Small Banana (80g) 
  
• 1/4 Cup Quick Oats (25G) 
• 2 TSP Chia Seeds 
• 1 TSP LSA Mix 
• 1/4 Cup Milk (any) 

Cost: $3.10 for 420g Serving. 73c per 100g. Fare cheaper than the original version despite having higher percentages of the more nutrient dense ingredients.

Method

1. Pour all ingredients into a small blender jar.
2. Blend until combined.
3. Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes so the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
4. Pour into cup for drinking (over 1) or into a bowl to serve.
5. This makes quite a thin consistency.
6. If wanting to thicken for older babies or toddlers simply add a few more spoonfuls of quick oats to the bowl and allow to sit for a few minutes for the liquid to absorb into the oats.
   

Serving Suggestions

This makes a very smooth puree. The pouch we are recreating was basically a smoothie drink. Our recommendation would be to serve as an actually meal to be eaten whenever possible and save the drinkable version for on the go if needed.
