Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small apple (Gala or Fuji, cored; peel on for fiber)
  • 1/2 ripe pear (Bartlett or Anjou; peel on if tolerated)
  • 1/4 cup prunes (pitted; about 4–5 prunes) or 1/4 cup prune puree
  • 1/2 banana (ripe; for creaminess and gentle sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2–3/4 cup water (or unsweetened oat/almond milk; adjust for thickness)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (or chia seeds; finely ground for smoother texture)
  • 1–2 teaspoons olive oil (optional; healthy fats can help soften stools)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional; warm flavor that many toddlers like)

Method
 

  1. Prep the fruit: Wash the apple and pear well. Core them and keep the peel on for extra fiber. Slice into chunks.
  2. Soften the prunes (optional): If they’re very firm, soak in warm water for 5–10 minutes. Drain before blending.
  3. Add to blender: Apple, pear, prunes, banana, yogurt, water (start with 1/2 cup), ground flaxseed, and olive oil if using. Add a pinch of cinnamon.
  4. Blend until very smooth: About 45–60 seconds. Add more water a little at a time until it’s easy to sip through a straw or drink from a cup.
  5. Taste and adjust: If it’s too thick, thin with water. If your toddler prefers it colder, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  6. Serve right away: Offer 1/2 to 3/4 cup to start. Keep portions small and watch how your child responds.
