I am a part of Hands of Love by Moms of Kochi which is an initiative by Moms of Kochi where we lend a hand to manage the finances of needy moms and kids.

As part of the group, we often get requests on how to ensure children are getting the right nutrition for their growth and development.

Us moms have always been looking for the best diet for proper nutrition and the best nutrition drinks for child growth. Here are some nutrition drinks you could try.

Best Nutrition Drinks for Child Growth

1.    Multigrain Drink

For an active, growing child, a daily diet might not suffice to fulfill their energy requirements. Hence it is ideal to include proper supplements to ensure the energy and nutrient quota. One such drink is the Multigrain drink.

Dry roast millets, sago, horse gram, almonds, pistachios and cashews. Powder them and keep them in an airtight container. Add this to your child’s drink every day and ensure that your child remains active and healthy. This one is the best health drink for your child that you can prepare at home.

2.    Dates and Almonds shake

Kids love milkshakes and it is an easier choice to ensure that the child has consumed enough nutrients and remains full. Dates and Almonds milk shake is a healthy blend of protein, calcium, vitamin E, copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, and vitamin B6. Take a glass of milk, 2-3 dates and a few almonds soaked overnight and peeled. Blend it in a mixer and consume fresh.

3.    Turmeric Masala Mix

Consuming Turmeric Masala mix regularly improves immunity and Curcumin in turmeric helps when you have the common cold. Add a pinch of turmeric, and a teaspoon powdered cashew along with jaggery powder. Consuming this milk an hour before bedtime improves sleep and helps in improving your child’s mood.

4.    Kesar Badam Milk

This magic drink is one of the best nutrition drinks for kids and adults alike. This improves immunity, strengthens bones and also enhances eyesight. Just like turmeric milk, Kesar Badam milk also helps to improve your sleep if consumed an hour before bedtime.

Finding the best nutrition drink

For busy mothers preparing these drinks and shakes can be an added job on some days. Moreover, remembering the ingredients to ensure ample nutrition is also a difficult task. This is where nutrition drinks come to your rescue.

But in these days of advertisement oversurge, how to find the right brand of nutrition drinks? You have to turn the bottle and check the ingredients. The ingredient that is given first is the prominent ingredient. You can also check the nutritional value.

While I compared various nutrition drink brands I realised that Complan is the right choice for my household as it has 34 vital nutrients, including 100% milk protein, vitamins and minerals. Also, it contains 63% more protein than other nutrition drinks.

Making healthy drinks for your child is satisfactory work. Because watching the kids drink up delicious nutrition without complaints is any mother’s dream.

You too can give the best nutrition drinks to your child and ensure their nutrition quota is fulfilled.
