Note on Yogurts: you can serve baby plain full-fat yogurt, Greek Yogurt, goat's yogurt, nut or plant-based yogurt. I would just recommend serving baby a plain yogurt without any added sugar.
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, with or without the yogurt added. Freezer – the cherry puree can be frozen for up to 4 months. It is recommended to add the yogurt after defrosting.
