What are some healthy tasty drinks for a toddler who doesn't like milk?
My 2 year old is average-sized, healthy, and a pretty good eater who still nurses a few times a day. We're going to wean soon, and I would like to offer a drink as a snuggle-n-sip session, to replace daytime nursing sessions. (Truthfully this is mostly because I'll miss the snuggling!)
Kiddo doesn't like the taste of cow's milk, only drinks water when thirsty, and doesn't like banana. Most other foods are fine.
Doesn't really like cold foods such as popsicles, due to brain freeze.
Will sip (but not adore) homemade fruit smoothies (frozen berries, frozen peaches, spinach, water, and a dab of maple syrup or juice for sweetness). Come to think of it, they might be too cold!
Loves yogurt. Likes fruit puree pouches.
Has a sweet tooth and loves juice, but we're of course trying not to emphasize that.
With meals we usually give water with a splash of juice to encourage drinking more.
Ideally something that's easy to make in batches and store, or something ready-made. Kiddo's overall diet is healthy and varied, so nutrition is always good but not a crucial concern.
Thanks! |
