Pouch Project - Strawberry & Chia Yogurt Brekky Puree

Written by: Jeanette Blandford | Published on February 10, 2026

Our Pouch Project take on the popular strawberry, yoghurt and chia breakfast pouch — blended at home in 2 minutes with everyday ingredients, cheaper per 100g and far more nourishing. Serve it as a spoonable purée from 6 months or a smoothie-style drink from 12 months.

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.

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

Strawberry & Chia Yogurt Brekky Puree

Ingredients

  • 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)

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 actual meal to be eaten whenever possible and save the drinkable version for on the go if needed.

Storage Instructions

Best made fresh. If needed, store covered in the fridge and use within 24 hours — give it a good stir before serving, as the chia will continue to thicken.

For on-the-go, pour into an insulated smoothie bottle with an ice brick and enjoy within a few hours.

Nutrition Notes

Greek yoghurt provides protein and calcium, while oats add whole grains and fibre. Chia seeds and LSA contribute omega-3 fats and extra fibre, and the strawberries and banana bring natural sweetness and vitamin C — no added sugar needed.

Parent Tip

Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh and are often cheaper — let them thaw slightly or blend a little longer. Add extra oats gradually; the mixture keeps thickening as it sits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this suitable from?

From 6 months as a spoon-served purée. The drinkable smoothie version is best saved for 12 months and over.

Can I make it dairy free?

Yes — swap the Greek yoghurt and milk for plant based alternatives suitable for your bub.

What can I use instead of LSA?

LSA contains almonds (a tree nut). For a nut free version use ground flaxseed or hemp seeds instead.

Can I make it ahead of time?

It's best fresh, but it will keep covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours — expect it to thicken and stir well before serving.
