Blueberry yoghurt is blue food the natural way. I like to use blueberries in yoghurt because they are so delicious and delicate (and expensive so no point hiding them in other purees).

Nutrition Note: sweeten natural or greek yoghurt with seasonal fresh fruit to avoid added sugar found in store-bought fruit yoghurts. It’s also much cheaper than buying children’s individual tubs.
