Method

Prepare the cottage¹ cheese by sieving it or blending with yogurt until smooth; peel the banana² and cut into 1 cm rounds.
Mash the banana² with a fork and mix with the cottage¹ cheese and yogurt until smooth.
Transfer to a small cup and serve.

Tips

Why it works: Sieving or blending cottage cheese removes lumps so babies can swallow it without choking; leave some texture if your child prefers it.
Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of natural yogurt for thicker texture; swap banana for mashed apple if you prefer milder flavor.
Common mistakes: Over-blending turns it too runny. Check consistency by spooning; it should hold shape but still be smooth.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh or store for 1 day in the fridge; reheat in microwave for 10 seconds if cold, but texture changes.
Serve with: Pair with whole-grain toast strips for extra fiber; serve as a quick snack before outings.

In short

A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 9 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
