help to get child to take NV

[Guest guest]

I have tried several ways of giving NV to my daughter (age 5). She doesn't

like the taste. I've mixed it with soy milk as well as with almond milk.

I've also blended it with one of those and added a touch of chocolate syrup

to enhance the chocolatey flavor. In the end it takes like a rich

milkshake, but she still refuses to drink it (so I have been drinking it -

at least it is not going to waste). Her refusal is a bit perplexing because

she used to be willing to take fish oil mixed with orange juice, which I

thought was disgusting.

I now have both chocolate and vanilla flavors, and am willing to try again.

I did notice that it does not mix well at all with regular milk, so I won't

try that again. What else does it mix with well? It would be nice to not

have to use the blender because of the cleanup required, but I'm willing if

I can find a formula she'll actually eat or drink.

Bring on the NV recipes! Thanks!
