Carrot and Mango Milkshake

By Chioma

carrot and mango milkshakeYour child is better of eating their fruits whole than blending them into a smoothie. Yes, smoothies are made of fruits, however, these fruits contain natural sugars which have been broken down and can lead to tooth decay. Those who are showing signs of tooth decay keep help from their dentist, especially if it affects their children. Finding a dental practice – see HTTPS://WWW.DURHAMDENTAL.NET/ – could help tackle any issues before it’s too late. When it comes to diseases like tooth decay and gum disease, there are ways to prevent this from occurring. It could be as simple as a visit to a Dentist in Seattle (if you live in and around this area of Washington) to help keep your mouth free of bad bacteria and plaque. When it comes to some fruits, it’s the ones that you buy from the shops, as they may even be worse than a bottle of fizzy drink, so it is best to make one yourself at home so that you are sure of what you are giving your child.

Smoothies and juices should be an occasional treat for your child and should not replace drinking water in your child’s life, whether at home or in school. Read here why water is best for your child. This carrot and mango milkshake is a combination of fruit and vegetable with protein which can make a nutritionally refreshing treat for your toddler and kids.

Carrot and Mango Milkshake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 carrot
  • Slice of ripe mango
  • 1-2 tablespoons powdered milk
  • ¾ cup water
  • Honey to taste (omit for under 1 year)

Method

  1. Scrape carrot and cut into small chunks. Cut out the mango flesh and chop into small pieces.
  2. Mix water and milk together.
  3. Pour everything into a blender and blend until smooth.
  4. Chill and serve.

* It is best (according to my paediatric dentist) to give smoothies to your child with a meal or at least within 30 minutes after having a meal.

*Smoothies are best taken immediately and should not be packed in your child’s lunchbox. Once broken down to liquid for, the nutrients in fruits are destroyed faster by heat and air, the sugars start fermenting too thus causing tooth decay. If your child is suffering from any form of tooth decay, or you just want to make sure their teeth are as healthy as they can be, make sure you book in regular checkups with a dentist like Dentist West Long Branch to keep everything in great condition.
