blueberry delight

Berry delight with milk

Ingredients:

500 Mls of Milk
2 Handfuls of mixed Berries
2 Handfuls of Grape.

Mix all of the ingredients together – it’s best to do this with a Kenwood Purejuice Slow Press Juicer to get the all the benefits of the ingredients but if not then just blend in a regular blender or juice your fruits and then mix with the milk.

Benefits of serving water and milk:

For kids of all ages, water and milk are the best choices, Beside having zero calories, water is a no-sugar thirst quencher. And 1 cup of milk has 300 milligrams of calcium and is rich with protein, so it’s very important to the kids growth physically and mentally and it’s a big contributor to a child’s daily needs.

Here’s how much calcium kids need each day:

Toddlers( Ages 1 to 3 years): 700 milligrams of calcium daily.
Kids ( Ages 4 to 8 years): 1000 milligrams, older kids ( Ages 9 to 18 years): 1300 milligrams.
