- This recipe was designed for my older children, if you have a very young baby just starting their solids journey try stirring my blueberry puree through yogurt, it has no added sugar and a smoother texture.
- For a dairy-free option substitute the whole milk yogurt with your favourite plain plant-based yogurt.
- I urge you to try the blueberry yogurt with both the orange and cinnamon, these 2 ingredients really do intensify and brighten the flavour of the blueberries making the yogurt even more delicious.
- Blueberries: I typically use frozen blueberries unless it is blueberry season, you can use fresh or frozen.
- Maple syrup: This can be substituted for your favourite sweetener or left out if your palate finds the blueberries sweet enough without it.
- Cinnamon: This intensifies the flavor of the blueberries.
- Orange: citrus adds brightness to the flavour. This can be substituted for lemon, but I would halve the amount of lemon juice used as it is not as sweet as orange juice
