    Apple Banana Milkshake Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Apple banana milkshake - creamy delicious milkshake for babies, toddlers and kids with chia seeds. After reading many health benefits of chia seeds, I wanted to try some recipes with it from long time!  But was doubtful how the taste would be, believe me it tasted good! Here comes my first recipe with chia seeds!

    When to introduce chia seeds for babies:
    Chia seeds are less allergenic in nature and can be introduced to babies diet from 10 months after baby's tummy is adjusted with some basic foods and good digestion is developed. Raw chia seeds are not easily digestible for some babies, hence always use soaked chia seeds for baby food preparations.
    Chia seeds are good for your baby if consumed in moderation, say 1 to 2 teaspoon per week. As with any new food, have a word with your doctor before introducing chia seeds to baby.
    Health benefits of chia seeds for babies, toddlers and kids: 
    • Loaded with omega 3 fatty acids, hence good for babies brain and eye development.
    • Its a good source of energy, keep kids active and energetic.
    • High in dietary fiber, so good for constipation.
    • Good source of protein helps in organ development.
    How to include chia seeds into children's diet:
    • Can be added to curd/yogurt, smoothies, milkshakes etc
    • Can be added with porridge's, cereals etc
    • Can be used as an egg substitute in cakes, cookies etc
    • Can be used for thickening agent in homemade jams, puddings etc

    Now Lets get on to check how to make the apple banana milkshake for babies, toddlers and kids.

    Notes :
    • Make sure to introduce apple, banana and cows milk separate before you try this apple banana milkshake.
    • I have added raw chia seeds, but soaking is highly recommended for small babies and kids to ensure easier digestion.
    • For babies below one year, avoid cows milk & honey. Use breastmilk or formula milk instead.
    • Always remember that breastmilk or formula should be major for babies until one year hence prefer juices/smoothies occasionally.
    • You can skip chia seeds if you couldn't source them.
    • Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
