Labneh
Labneh is a strained yogurt, thicker and tangier than regular yogurt, offering a wonderful creamy texture for babies. It's a fantastic source of probiotics, supporting gut health from an early age.
How to serve
Offer a dollop of plain labneh on a pre-loaded spoon or spread thinly on a soft, whole-grain cracker or toast strip.
Serve plain labneh as a dip for soft fruit or vegetables, or mixed into purees for added creaminess and nutrients.
Continue offering labneh as a nutritious snack, dip, or spread. It can be paired with a variety of foods.
Nutrition
Packed with calcium for strong bones and teeth, and protein essential for rapid growth and development. The beneficial live and active cultures (probiotics) in labneh aid digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome for your little one.
Good to know
To reduce choking risk, always offer labneh plain and unsweetened, serving it as a smooth spread or dip on appropriate soft vehicles.
Labneh is a dairy product, which is a common allergen. When introducing, offer a small amount on its own for the first time and watch closely for any signs of an allergic reaction.
Contains: dairy
Tip
Always choose plain, unsweetened labneh to avoid unnecessary added sugars. It pairs wonderfully with a sprinkle of cinnamon or mashed berries for natural flavor.
