Recipe Tips

Now, all you mommies know how to make Banana Walnut Milkshake but you need to keep in mind a few points before starting making this healthy drink.

• Always wash your hands well before cooking any meal for babies. All of the utensils should also be properly washed and cleaned before using them for babies.
• Peel bananas just before you start making this milkshake.
• You can use banana slices to garnish the milkshake only if the babies can chew the slices properly.
• Keep the thickness of the milkshake as per the liking of the baby.
• Use only good quality and fully ripe bananas for making this drink.
• If you are preparing this recipe for the babies less than a year old, use formula milk or breast milk instead of buffalo/cow milk, as it is advisable to not use cow/buffalo milk till the baby turns one.
• Though there is no need to add sugar to this dish, as banana itself adds sweetness but if your kid demands and likes the taste of honey, you can add a little amount of honey after preparation.
• Add honey only if the kid is above one year.
• Walnuts pose allergy risk and must be given to babies after a 3-day rule and it is advisable to best try them once the baby is 12 months and tested other nuts too.
