Looma Recipes | 2 easy yoghurt snacks (Yoghurt Bark + Chia Pots) for kids and adults

Looma Recipe Series
Simple snacks for busy families

If your kids are constantly asking for snacks, or you’re trying to move away from packaged options, these two yoghurt-based snacks are on high rotation in our house.

They’re cooling, nourishing, naturally sweet, and easy to prep ahead. One lives in the freezer, one in the fridge. Both are tried, tested, and fussy-eater approved.

Why yoghurt snacks work

  • Protein and healthy fats to keep little bellies full
  • Calcium for growing bones
  • Naturally sweet without refined sugar
  • Easy to adapt for toddlers, kids and adults

1. YOGHURT BARK with fruit & seeds 
(Freezer Snack)

This is the snack I make when my kid has asked for food six times in twenty minutes. It’s cool, colourful and feels like a treat — without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups thick Greek yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt)
  • 1–1½ cups fresh fruit (berries, mango, kiwi, banana)
  • 1–2 tbsp seeds (chia, hemp or pumpkin – optional)
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (for adults)

Method

  1. Line a flat tray with baking paper.
  2. Spread yoghurt into an even layer about 1–1.5 cm thick.
  3. Scatter fruit over the yoghurt and gently press it in.
  4. Sprinkle with seeds if using.
  5. Freeze flat for 3–4 hours until firm.
  6. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Kid tip: Skip seeds and chop fruit finely for younger kids.

Storage: Freeze for up to 1 month.

2. STRAWBERRY YOGHURT CHIA POTS
(Fridge Snack or Breakfast)

These are perfect if you like waking up to snacks already made. Creamy, filling and gentle on little tummies, but still great with coffee for adults.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups thick Greek yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt)
  • 1 cup strawberries, mashed or blended
  • 2–3 tbsp chia seeds
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • Optional toppings: sliced fruit, granola (older kids/adults)

Method

  1. Mash or blend strawberries until smooth.
  2. Mix strawberries and yoghurt together in a bowl.
  3. Stir through chia seeds until evenly distributed.
  4. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  5. Spoon into jars or containers.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick.

Kid tip: If the chia texture isn’t a hit yet, serve as strawberry yoghurt and add chia later.

Storage: Keep in the fridge for 3–4 days.
