Banana and Date Milk Drink — A Naturally Sweet, Nourishing Beverage for Age 2
A creamy drink made with ripe banana, softened dates, milk and yogurt, taking its natural sweetness from the fruit with no added sugar. A practical, satisfying snack your two-year-old can happily sip from a cup.
⚠️ Contains allergens: milk
Ingredients
- 1 medium (~100 g) Ripe banana
- 2 pieces Dried dates (pitted, softened in warm water)
- 1 cup (~200 ml) Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Strained (Greek-style) yogurt
- 1 pinch Cinnamon (optional)
Directions
- 1
Pit the dates and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain once softened.
- 2
Peel the banana and break it into a few pieces.
- 3
Add the banana, softened dates, milk and yogurt to a blender.
- 4
Blend thoroughly until smooth and pourable; make sure no pieces of date remain in the drink (important to avoid a choking risk).
- 5
If you like, add a pinch of cinnamon and blend once more.
- 6
Pour into an open cup and serve right away from the cup rather than a bottle, under your supervision.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Banana and dates give this drink a natural sweetness with no added sugar, and dates are also rich in fiber and plant-based iron. Milk and yogurt add calcium and protein, making the snack more filling. Thanks to its smooth texture, your child can gently practice drinking from a cup on their own.
Maiyko's note
At the Maiyko kitchen we like to keep drinks simple and natural; reach for ripe fruit instead of refined sugar to sweeten, and blend to a smooth texture suited to your child's age.
