Apple Milkshake Recipe for Kids

“An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away” is something we’ve all heard since our school days, mainly courtesy our parents who were desperate to get their children to eat some fruit! And with good reason too, since fruits and vegetables are an integral part of a healthy, balanced diet. Of course, we realize the truth of this much more now that we’re parents ourselves!

The general recommendation for kids is to have 5 to 6 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, with each serving being about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup for young children and nearly 1/2 to 1 cup for older kids. However, this is easier said than done and it is quite a challenge for parents to see their kids get even half the recommended servings! As expected, the worry about kids not getting proper nutrition persists, which only increases as they grow older. So, it’s best to get them used to a healthy home-cooked diet right from a young age, and this usually begins with making healthier versions of their ‘outside’ favorites. One such recipe we’re featuring today is a simple apple milkshake which will give any juice-bar milkshake a run for its money!
