There are a couple things about milkshakes that Julian really likes. Drinking with a straw is one of them. Watching me make it is the other part. What I like about shakes is that he’s getting milk and the magic superfood blueberries at the same time. Bonus that none of it goes on the floor because he’s so captivated by the straw experience.
The key to my milkshake is the Kitchenaid stick mixer, also known as an immersion blender. This takes two seconds to clean and there is no set up. This is a helpful tool for all baby food making. Ok, I lied, the other key to my milkshake is frozen organic strawberries. Buy them. It helps to have something frozen in your shake to give it a little froth. For those who think ahead, you could keep banana in the freezer. Just make sure to peel it before you store it.
How to make the shake: Put about 10 frozen strawberries, a cup of milk, a handful of blueberries and a banana into a plastic container. Blend. Pour into child-friendly cup and add a straw. Add a second straw for extra fun.

We just had great luck today with frozen peaches, fresh pears, and formula… which is especially good since Holden has beeen rejecting his bottles lately. Thanks for the idea.
