What Makes Little Yeos a Good Yogurt for Children?
Hear from Dr Alice, our in-house nutritionist, as she explains why Little Yeos yogurt is such a great choice for growing children. From organic whole milk and live cultures to lower-sugar options made with real fruit, Dr Alice shares what to look for when choosing yogurt for kids and why Little Yeos ticks all the right boxes for nutrition, taste and everyday family life.
What makes Little Yeos a good yogurt for children?
When it comes to feeding little ones, yogurt is often a trusted staple, widely accepted, easy to serve and loved by children. But not all yogurts are created equal. So, what makes Little Yeos such a good choice for growing children?
What is Little Yeos yogurt made from?
Little Yeos are made with organic whole milk, which is naturally rich in key nutrients children need as they grow, including:
Protein – to support growth and development
Calcium – for strong bones and teeth
B vitamins – to support energy and overall health
Current UK guidelines recommend that children have two portions of dairy a day, and yogurt is an easy, child-friendly way to help meet this recommendation.
Is whole milk yogurt better for young children?
Yes, whole milk and Greek-style yogurts are particularly suitable for young children.
These yogurts are slightly higher in fat than those made with skimmed milk, which is important because:
Fat supports brain development, especially in children under two
It helps provide energy for rapid growth
This makes Little Yeos a great everyday option for growing bodies and busy minds.
Why choose organic yogurt for kids?
Organic milk is often higher in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for overall health, including heart health later in life. This is because organic cows spend more time grazing on pasture, with the benefits of healthy soils and diverse plants passed naturally into the milk.
Being organic also means that Little Yeos are made without artificial colours or sweeteners, keeping ingredients simple and reassuring for parents.
Do Little Yeos contain live cultures?
Yes, and this is something I particularly value as a nutritionist.
Little Yeos are always made with live cultures, which can help support gut health. When choosing yogurt for children, it’s best to opt for yogurts from the refrigerated section of the supermarket, as longer-life yogurt pouches often don’t contain these beneficial live bacteria.
Are Little Yeos low in sugar?
When it comes to yogurt for children, natural options are always best.
The Little Yeos Greek Style Natural Yogurt Pouches are a great place to start. If your child prefers a bit of flavour, the Little Yeos No Added Sugar range is a brilliant alternative, using real organic fruit to provide gentle sweetness, without added sugars.
Why parents choose Little Yeos?
There are plenty of reasons Little Yeos stand out:
Organic whole milk
Live cultures
No artificial colours or sweeteners
Lower-sugar options
Designed with children’s nutritional needs in mind
But perhaps the most important reason of all? They get a double thumbs up from my kids, which makes mealtimes that little bit smoother, and that’s a win for everyone.
