Experience the Health Benefits of Milk with Smoothie Bowls
It can be difficult to get children interested in mealtimes. From a lack of appetite to a lack of interest in what you consider childhood staples, it can be stressful figuring out how to help the kids build good eating habits and reap the health benefits of milk and other nutritious drinks.
Introduce your children to the power of milk with tasty creations to bring interest to snack time and breakfast.
The Health Benefits of Milk
Bring the power of milk to your table. Milk’s high-performance protein can’t be matched by most alternative beverages. Real milk provides complete, high-quality protein whereas most plant-based proteins are incomplete. Unlike many alternatives on the market, unflavored real dairy milk contains no added sugar and is naturally sweetened with lactose.
This smoothie bowl will bring your child joy from creation to consumption. Take the time to shape the insignia in this smoothie bowl as a cool craft that will make snack time a fun addition to the day. Adding fresh fruit and shaping granola into stars will bring grins to everyone in the kitchen. If your kids are new to working in the kitchen, make sure to create some ground rules to keep the experience fun and relaxing for all.
