bambini beverage of choice

Have I ever mentioned how much drinkable yogurt we go through around here?  A lot.  Both lads have long liked the kind made by YoBaby, both the banana and the peach flavors.  As their consumption increased, the thought occurred to me to try replicating the recipe both as a cost-saving measure and as a way of controlling the ingredients a little more closely.  There is sugar -- organic though it may be -- in the recipe.  All things in moderation -- my Grannie has long said, and at the rate we were going, moderation was going out the window.  Thus, I started tinkering and have hit upon a few concoctions that seem to pass muster.  I daresay it is my younger lad's beverage of choice.  Here's the recipe in its present incarnation (with links in that post back to previous versions).

Now the young lass likes drinkable yogurt.  She received her own Foogo insulated sippy cup for Christmas, but her contentment with it was short-lived.  She had her sights set on her brother's insulated straw cup (also by Foogo).  Anytime he left it anywhere (as he is inclined to do), she would nab it and try to sip out of it.  Pretty soon she had mastered the whole straw sipping thing, so now she uses the elder lad's similar straw cup (as he does not care for the "homebrew").

With all of yogurt's health benefits and given the volume my younger lad consumes, he must have the healthiest gut flora on the block.  It's a practical protein delivery system, and good nutrition for my bambini on the move...
