Strawberry Banana Milk | My Little Gourmet

Mother’s Day is coming up, so I’ve decided to share a recipe from my mother with you all. My mom used to make this milk for me when I got home from school and I always loved it. To this day I still enjoy drinking these fruit milks!

A while ago I decided to make one for Arik to see if he would like them as much I always did, and low and behold he drank both servings, leaving none for me… Now he has one at least once a week and always gets really excited when he sees me getting out the blender. I love that something so easy and delicious is healthy for us too. I also love the fact that something my mom and I used to enjoy together, I can now enjoy with my son. Happy Mother’s Day!

 Very Berry Breakfast Smoothie | My Little Gourmet

If I let Arik pick his own breakfast he would most likely choose to just drink 5 or 6 glasses of milk and not eat anything. With this thought in mind, I decided to come up with a breakfast in a glass for him. This way he gets everything he needs to start his day and he can drink it all through a straw, which, of course, makes him very happy. It also makes me very happy because it takes about 5 minutes to prepare and there’s enough smoothie for me as well.

I used frozen berries for our smoothie, so if you use fresh you may want to add some ice cubes before blending so you get a nice cold smoothie. If your little ones prefer it sweet be sure to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey. Depending on how thick you like your smoothies just increase or decrease the amount of milk until you get the consistency you want. Cheers!
