HEALTHY MIDMORNING/AFTERNOON SNACKS

Bananas are affordable All-Season fruits. A smoothie is a fun way of giving your kids good nutrition without too much fuss. Have the kids help you in preparing their meals and snacks. Kids are very creative and you won't have to fight them to eat what they've created.

BANANA-MANGO SMOOTHIE

Ingredients

2 Bananas

2 Medium Mangoes

1 litre of natural sugar-free yoghurt 

Procedure

Cut the bananas and mangoes into small pieces for easy blending. Put the mixture in a blender, add the sugar-free yoghurt and blend. The fruits naturally have sugar; therefore you don’t need to add sugar to this recipe.

HEALTHY MIDMORNING/AFTERNOON SNACKS

 Milk shake is one of my favorite drinks because I can achieve good nutrition from milk and fruits, and at the same time cheat a little with some ice cream. Make this refreshing drink this festive season in place of soda or energy drinks which are typically packed with empty calories.

  STRAWBERRY MILK SHAKE

Ingredients

1 Cup Strawberries

1 litre of Milk

1 scoop Ice cream

Procedure

Put the strawberries in a blender, add boiled cold or warm milk to the mixture and blend. Pour into a glass, add the ice cream scoop on top and garnish with a strawberry piece or mint leaves.

NB: You can omit the ice cream if on weight management and the drink will be just as refreshing!!
