Meal time is stressful when you have a growing toddler. One day, all is good and they gobble up anything you put in front of them. The next day, they throw it your face. Dry, salty snacks that are loaded with carbs usually do the trick as a quick and easy snack, but they also get boring. If you’re looking for something a bit healthier than the average toddler snack, try these Frozen Yogurt Covered Bananas. They can be whipped up in a hurry from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, they’re fun to eat and just enticing enough for toddlers to gobble up without a fight.
These Frozen Yogurt Covered Bananas are also a great snack for teething babies. Try them plain without the toppings for smaller babies and the frozen fruit will help soothe achy gums.

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.

Yum! These look great for summer. Also, kind of classes up the average go-gurt.
I completely understand!! My toddler is the same, yesterday he loved cheese, today he’s a cheese snob! I make frozen yoghurt and frozen banana but never thought of combining the 2!! Genius!! Definitely giving this a try.
I know what I will do tomorrow:D awesome idea! specially that we have a hot summer
This is such a great idea! I am definitely going to try this recipe with some cacao ginger yogurt in my house. Yum!
Aww looks so yummy ! My 2.5 year love eating banana, so I will make this give her a surprise.
Yummy! These look like healthy snacks every one in the family will enjoy. Now I know what to do with the excess bananas I got from the store yesterday. 🙂 Thanks for the idea.
