My kids love flavored yogurt, and I love how easy it is to make our own fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt at home for less than the cost of store-bought. We make them taste really great by starting with fresh (or frozen) fruit, which is both easy and cost-efficient.

This method for making Blueberry Yogurt is straightforward, works with fresh or frozen blueberries, and can be sweetened to taste.

This is a delicious baby yogurt, an easy toddler snack, and a favorite for adults, too. Plus, you can prep it ahead and serve it through the week.

Why This Recipe Works

Turning fresh or frozen fruit into a simple berry sauce, then topping with yogurt, is a simple way to make flavored yogurt with the nutrition and ingredients you prefer. You can let the flavor of the berries stand on their own, or you can add a little honey or maple syrup if you like.

Blueberries: I use frozen wild blueberries in this recipe, but you can use regular or wild, fresh or frozen.
Orange juice or water: A small amount of liquid helps the berries get cooking quickly.
Honey or maple syrup: This is optional to taste. Whether you need it depends on the flavor of your berries.
Yogurt: I usually make this with plain whole-milk yogurt, but plain Greek yogurt or a dairy-free one would work, too.

Featured Review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“My five year old and I made these to replace her beloved Chobani yogurts (love that these offer less sugar and less waste) and they are a HIT! I can’t keep them stocked. I added a bit of lemon zest to the blueberries and highly recommend. I can’t wait to try this method with other berries and frozen fruit.” —Maria

Frequently Asked Questions

Can babies have blueberry yogurt?

Sure, this recipe is a great option for babies. You may want to avoid the added sweetener (and definitely avoid honey for babies). Store bought blueberry yogurt usually is sweetened with cane sugar, so plain yogurt is often recommended as a better option.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Sure just use your favorite dairy-free yogurt.

What’s the difference between regular and wild blueberries?

Wild blueberries are usually smaller, brighter, and more intensely flavored. (They almost taste like huckleberries.) They do not need to be mashed in this recipe since they break down quickly. Regular berries, whether fresh or frozen, are larger and would benefit from a little mashing in this recipe.

How to Store

Store Blueberry Yogurt in airtight storage containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. The ones shown here are from WeeSprout. You can also freeze the mixture into popsicles by filling popsicle molds and popping them into the freezer.

Best Tips for Success

I prefer the flavor of wild blueberries for this, which are sold frozen, but you can also use regular blueberries.
Blend the cooked berries to give the yogurt a creamier texture, if you’d like.
Omit the honey or maple syrup if desired. Avoid honey for babies for kids under age 12 months.
Start with plain yogurt for babies and toddlers so you can add all the flavor from the berries yourself.

Place the berries and juice or water into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries start to release their juices and the juices start to thicken. (If using regular blueberries, as opposed to the smaller wild ones, mash gently with a potato masher to help release the juices.) Toward the end of cooking, when you stir with a spatula, you should be able to drag the mixture through the pan and see the bottom briefly.
Turn off heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Divide the berries among storage containers. Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten, if desired, and stir.
Divide the yogurt on top of the berries. Serve cold.

Store in airtight storage containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
I prefer the flavor of wild blueberries for this, but both types will work.
Mash regular blueberries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to help release the juices as they cook.
Omit the honey or maple syrup if desired. Avoid honey for kids under age 12 months.
