Why This Trend Is Worth It You’ve probably scrolled past it a dozen times—the glossy, glossy yogurt that stretches like taffy or melted cheese. It's all over TikTok. It’s in Mamie’s NYC. It’s… kind of confusing, right?

Let’s get honest. Most of what people call “stretchy yogurt” doesn’t stretch. It’s just thick yogurt with slick marketing. But this homemade version? It actually pulls. It’s real, it’s fun, and it’s easy.

What You’ll Need

Greek yogurt

Milk

Tapioca starch (That’s it!) No gelatin. No weird powders. No yogurt maker.

How to Do It Mix. Microwave. Stir. Stretch. That’s all. The microwave does the magic, and the tapioca gives it that stretchy, ropey finish that’ll make your inner child light up.

Bonus: It’s gluten-free, kid-safe, and vegan-adaptable. You can make it colorful with matcha or butterfly pea powder, sweeten it with allulose or banana puree, or serve it with granola for a breakfast that’s just plain fun.

This Tofu Chocolate Banana Milkshake is a delicious and nutritious treat for kids. Tofu adds creaminess and protein while bananas provide natural sweetness. It's a great way to sneak in some tofu into your child's diet!
