Tell me some milk drinks which I can give my 12 year old kid?


My son is 12 year old and he does not like drinking milk. I know children of his age are like this only, but I don’t want to ignore it and let him miss the calcium and protein which he can get from milk. I tried to give him things which are made from milk like curd and cheese, but he does not like them also. So I was wondering what to do. Can anyone out there help me by suggesting some milk drinks which you think kids in this age like most?

Hi,

Children usually avoid drinking plain milk. This is a commonly found tendency and there is nothing to be worried about. Some of the ways by which you can make milk a fun drink for your kids are as follows: Adding some flavor can make milk a fun drink for kids. Bournvita, complan, horlicks are the most traditionally used flavoring substances which makes the milk tastier as well as healthier. They are not only god for a child`s growth but also for the brain development. Apart from this, you can even go for some kind of homemade shakes in the cold milk like banana shake, apple shake, and other fruit shakes. Fruits are a source of rich vitamins and also it makes the milk a yummy drink for the kids. You can sometimes even add few tea spoons of ice creams in the milk. This way the child loves to consume the milk and also gets the proper nutrition that it gets from the normal hot milk. Milk with “chocos” or corn flakes can also be a change for your kid from the daily monotonous milk. This is equally nutritious. Infact, Borden diary makes cheese in a sliced form. It is a product specifically made for the kids. Children love eating it. It contains 40 % calcium along with other essential vitamins. You can even try that.
