You can use the ground in place of some of the whole wheat flour, and add some whole flaxseed and sunflower nuts for texture... our little ones love it.badbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114477359596407712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-47927599544550237132009-09-30T23:00:04.205-04:002009-09-30T23:00:04.205-04:00Amy - Another mommy just informed me on fb (my blo...Amy - Another mommy just informed me on fb (my blog posts show up there, too) that Trader Joe's has plain, whole-fat Greek yogurt. I'm going to pick some up this weekend. I wonder if that will thicken the yogurt up some more... :) And then I'll get to see how making it different ways, etc, etc will affect the thickness when we use the yogurt maker. But I'm interested in trying the Greek, too.Daisy @ Our Growing Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936068496090254149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-38268276008514598192009-09-30T22:55:18.225-04:002009-09-30T22:55:18.225-04:00Nothing wrong with that, Becky! :) I know many peo...Nothing wrong with that, Becky! :) I know many people that buy the baby yogurts. I just don't feel right doing it quite yet. Trying to stay away from all that sugar as long as possible. I figure if he likes what we do now so much, why change it, you know? Our yogurt isn't all that thick - adding the banana helps a bit. And you can add whatever other fruits might make it thicker - or use less yogurt. That's one thing I like about mixing it myself - I can control what I use, how much, etc. And I can make whatever fruit combinations, too. :) <br /><br />And yeah, organic sugar is better than regular. ;) <br /><br />Aiden is still taking just regular Vitamin D drops for now. He LOVES how those things taste - gobbles it up and always wants more! He gets quite disappointed when I tell him it's all gone after he sucks it out of the dropper! (And get this...when Camden was younger, he had to take iron drops, which are gross...and he loved those soooo much. He loved any kind of medicine, even Robitussin. Strange. Not anymore, but still.)Daisy @ Our Growing Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936068496090254149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-39562480838934346332009-09-30T22:18:10.970-04:002009-09-30T22:18:10.970-04:00Oooo so guilty!

I started with the plain which has no extra sugar, but the other flavors that we use now do have extra sugar. But it is organic sugar! =) I just got a magic bullet recently and I also have a freezer full of organic fruit. I've been annoyed with how thin the yogurt is now that he is older so maybe I'll try making my own. I usually add wheat germ and Colin's vitamins (Dr. Greene's Toddler drops) to ours. Ground flax seed is a good idea.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455441491195472768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-15495678703405906412009-09-30T22:07:36.822-04:002009-09-30T22:07:36.822-04:00Interesting you ask about the Greek yogurt... That...Interesting you ask about the Greek yogurt... That's the "extra" Ryan came out with. We were wanting to try that b/c the yogurt isn't too thick. Fine with me and Aiden, but Ryan always thinks it should be thicker (even though it's FOR Aiden...haha!). So, we were going to try some Greek yogurt, but all we can find is low-fat. I really want to stick with whole-fat for Aiden right now (esp b/c he's not supposed to be getting whole cow's milk until we know more about his allergies), so I haven't tried the Greek. I've even looked at Whole Foods and can't find any that is whole-fat... :( If you happen to see any anywhere, let me know, though! <br /><br />And thanks for the compliment. :) I wouldn't say I've researched this topic too much - I just hate the thought of giving Aiden all that sugar! And the way we feed him is changing some of the ways we eat - which was a not-so-secret plan of mine. ;) Ryan is slowly coming over to the organic side of things...esp as we discover ways it doesn't have to be so expensive. :)Daisy @ Our Growing Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936068496090254149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023924502748523502.post-21035876146973955362009-09-30T21:42:42.245-04:002009-09-30T21:42:42.245-04:00How do you think Greek yogurt compares?

I was wondering if/how good it is for babies, what you knew about it.<br /><br />I have to say, you have researched these topics more than anyone else I know, so I appreciate your reviews and suggestions.Mama Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803105863322002392noreply@blogger.com
