Your child’s health is your number one priority. It’s not always an easy task, especially with the amount of temptation that surrounds them every day. But you can still maintain your child’s health by allowing them to drink nutritious shakes for breakfast and lunch.

Health Benefits of Shakes

Shakes are a great way to get essential vitamins that go missing in our daily food intake as well as nutrients such as calcium and protein. They also help children lose weight, which is common among kids in this age group. All you need to do is add the right ingredients and make it yourself.

Healthier Shakes for Kids

Even if your child doesn’t like the consistency, they are still likely to drink it because of its nutritional benefits. You can make healthier shakes by adding milk, yogurt, and ice as well as some fresh fruit. The result is a thick shake that they will love. Using frozen fruits means you can whip up a delicious shake in minutes. If your child is adamant, then try making these shakes yourself and see how easy it is to get them to drink healthy.

If you have time, occasionally make their favorite flavor of shake and give them a scoop of ice cream on top to make it extra special. The best thing about preparing these shakes for your children is that you can make them in advance and freeze them. It’s a perfect way to get rid of that leftover milk and others foods you would want to throw out. Just give it a quick thaw, shake it up and they are ready to drink.

If your child likes ice cream, you can always buy those single-serve containers. That way they will be able to have their favorite flavor in the morning or at lunchtime.
