We’re smitten with “pink milk” at the moment. Our version is nothing more than 1 cup milk blended with 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) raspberries, and a dash of honey. We love its cheerful color especially on gloomier mornings and its not too sweet taste. Luca likes to help measure the ingredients and I like the fact that I can pull it together even when I’m half asleep come breakfast time. The true measure of its appeal, however, is that Luca asked to bring it to his snack day at preschool. Pink milk, you are IN!
So in the words of one of my favorite movie musical numbers of all time (from 1957’s Funny Face): “Banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige! From now on…. Think Pink!”
Thank you for such a great idea! I am sickened every morning to add Nesquik Strawberry (read: High Fructose Corn Syrup) to my son’s milk…
Yum! I am glad I shared this with you and I am glad Luca loves it!
I love that the simplest food can bring such joy to a kiddo!
If Luca likes this, my son’s current favorite smoothie (PB&J Oatmeal Smoothie) might also be a hit! I posted the recipe on my blog at:

I’m going to try your version of raspberry milk as well
