Blueberry and Strawberry Milkshakes

My son woke up one day and said "Can you make Blue Milk for me today?”. Promptly my little daughter goes … and I want Pink Princess Milk”! Here the culture associates dressing baby boys in blue and baby girls in pink. So they have grown up with associating blue with boys and pink with girls. Kids get so influenced by color and shapes in their food. Sometimes I feel that they taste food by looking at them, not by tasting them!

Anyway, so I was wondering how to satisfy the kids demand while making it a healthy alternative at the same time. Luckily I had blueberries and strawberries and used those to make the blue and pink milkshakes.

Blueberries and strawberries are a natural and rich source of antioxidants, and other vitamins. Click here for a custom nutrition label  for this healthy milkshake.

Both of them loved their respective boy-girl milkshakes and were happy...and I was the happiest of course, because they got their fruit and milk serving in one go!
