In Spanish
J tried yogurt for the first time this week. Like everything in his diet, choosing the right yogurt for him was not as simple as going to a supermarket and buying a fruit-flavored, sweetened, and ready-to-eat yogurt. The instructions I gave my husband were "buy plain, whole-milk yogurt” and preferably organic -this last part I kept to myself for fear he would give me “the look”. It is because of things like this that he calls me a "granola girl". Being a working-mom, it would be better if I made more simple decisions about my baby's food and used the available resources that modern life offers ... but no, that’s not me. My motto is: why make it easy if you can make it complicated!
Obviously, J doesn’t always accept my decisions without putting up a fight, after being accustomed to breast milk, which is very sweet, it seemed that the plain yogurt was not worth the effort of getting the second spoonful. So, I had to produce one of my brightest ideas ... yogurt with bananas.
Ingredients:
2 or 3 tablespoons plain and whole milk yogurt
1 / 2 banana
Instructions,
Puree the banana with a fork, throw in the yogurt and mix together.
This very "sophisticated" recipe has several advantages, it controls the amount of sugar, is very easy to prepare, bananas may be replaced with other fruit, and it’s not only tasty for him, it was delicious also for me. But the best of all is that you can prepare it with just one hand. I have realized since my baby was born that part of a mom’s description is ... creature that doesn’t have a sufficient number of hands.
