Re: Ideas for giving my 2 year old NV

[Guest guest]

I was able to get our six year old last year to take NV by just mixing the

powder with ice cream and a tablespoon of water. She really diliked it any other

way. You said he is dairy free, but there are some soy ice creams I think. We

took a long break from NV (6 months) then came back in the fall. Now I just mix

water and she hates it and gags but takes it because she knows its good for her.

Last night and this morning I mixed the vanilla with mint choc chip ice cream

and there was way less gagging and she ate it so much quicker. The ice cold

makes it more palatable and slightly refreshhing. Maybe mix it in chopped ice in

the blender and add some gross syrup-like strawberry(oh, I did that in the

beginning too just to get her to drink it when I tried making a drink). 2 year

olds dont care how good something is for them-they want taste!!

In addition to what Cheryl suggested want to mention there is a serving

suggestion page here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/products/nutriiveda/nv-serving-suggestions/

and a recipe page here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/products/nutriiveda/nutriiveda-recipes/

We need to add more recipes- so any suggestions please let me know!

But PS -I used to have to " doctor up " the NV for my boys and now both will drink

it with water. My son Tanner only likes chocolate and Dakota the vanilla so I

can't switch them to see if one flavor has more dramatic surges -but is there

anyone having dramatic surges on vanilla??? I mean I know it works from Dakota

but he didn't need dramatic surges -but then again unlike Tanner he still needs

fish oils and Tanner no longer regresses if off (but again I don't plan on

stopping them at low dosage just for health reasons)
