Weetabix and Banana
Weetabix banana flavour are popular choices for baby led weaning due to their nutritional value and soft texture, making them a great way for babies to handle and eat independently. Weetabix provides essential iron and fibre, crucial for a baby's growth and development, while bananas offer natural sweetness and potassium.
Combining the two creates a balanced meal that introduces different tastes and textures to babies, encouraging them to explore and enjoy a variety of foods early on.
When served in appropriate portions and cut into manageable pieces, Weetabix and banana can be a nutritious and convenient option for babies beginning their solid food journey.

Ingredient information
Weetabix biscuit - I have used Weetabix, you could use a homemade granola too if you prefer.
Yogurt - I have used a plain Greek style yogurt, you could use a plain natural yogurt or a vegan/plant based alternative for dairy free/vegan babies.
Banana - Packed with potassium, a great sweet treat for weaning and great to be used as a natural sweetener instead of sugar for many baby recipes.
Milk - I have used whole milk but you could use a semi skimmed milk or an oat milk for dairy free babies.
Peanut butter - I have used a smooth 100% nut butter for this recipe as there are no added sugars or salt.
Serving suggestion
This is great served on its own, if you did want to serve with something else, toast fingers or egg muffins would be a great option.
You could serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries or blackberries.

Storage instructions
This can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, just be mindful of the best before date of the yogurt, if it is up in during those 3 days it may not be ok to serve to your little one.
You could save half of the yogurt for the next day, as it is a large portion. That would be ok too. It is possible to serve the pots at room temperature.
It is possible to freeze the pots, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Make sure you leave the pots overnight in the fridge before serving, makes for a frozen treat too to replace a vanilla ice cream if you wish.
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Kilner jars - These are snack sized glass pots with easy push-on silicone lids which are water tight and leak-proof making them ideal for carrying light bites and snacks on-the-go.
Airtight container - I much prefer the click-shut lids on these containers compared to others. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe and BPA free, so very suitable for food use.
