Favorite Mango Yogurt 3 Ingredients Best Flavor

Mango Yogurt

I’ve long loved the combination of mango and yogurt (or drinkable yogurt), and this easy flavored yogurt packs a nutrition punch—and just tastes so good. And has the creamiest consistency. Yogurt is a great food for kids because it’s rich in nutrients. It’s on my lists as a good calcium food for kids, probiotic foods for kids, and protein for kids—and it’s a really versatile base for adding flavor like fresh fruit. You can use fresh or frozen mango in this recipe, or start with Mango Baby Food Puree. Most plain yogurt is fairly similar in flavor, though there may be some variation in the tartness. There is often a lot of flavor variation in mangos though—so this may vary in sweetness each time you make it. (Just like my Mango Sorbet.) Which is why it’s helpful to taste it after blending and adjust the sweetness as needed. (You may also like yogurt for babies, Mango Popsicles, easy Mango Smoothie, and Strawberry Yogurt.)

Ingredients You Need

Here’s a look at what you need for this mango yogurt recipe so you’ll know what to pick up at the store:

Plain yogurt: I prefer whole milk yogurt, but if you only have access to low fat or vanilla, that is totally fine. You can use regular or Greek style. The only difference is the thickness. Mango: You can use fresh or frozen mango. Or start with fresh mango or mango baby food puree. Any of those options will give this delicious natural flavor from mango. Optional ingredients: Fresh lime juice and zest and/or hemp seeds. You can add honey or maple syrup depending on the sweetness of your fruit.

Ingredient Substitutions

Dairy-free: You can use plain nondairy yogurt if you need to make this without dairy. Look for options from Siggis or Kite Hill or any that you prefer. You can use fresh, frozen, or store-bought mango baby food if you prefer.

How to Store

You can store this mango yogurt in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also store them in reusable baby food pouches and serve them right in the pouch if that’s easier for you.

Best Tips for Success

Use plain whole milk yogurt if possible (little kids need healthy fats for brain development). If you only have the option to use low-fat or vanilla, the recipe will still work just fine. You can use regular or Greek style yogurt. The only difference is that Greek yogurt makes this a little thicker and creamier, has more protein. Use fresh or frozen cubes of mango, or Mango Baby Food Puree. Add in hemp seeds for more nutrition if desired. Try it with the lime for an added flavor if desired. Serve with a spoon or in a reusable pouch. Top with homemade granola if desired. Crush it up for kids under about 2 or so.
