10 Nutritious and Delicious Milk Mixes You Can Make at Home
“Why does my child refuse to drink milk?”
If you are a parent in India this is a familiar struggle. While milk is celebrated as one of the most important foods for children’s growth for bones, immunity, and energy many kids find plain milk boring. Parents often reach for flavored powders, but studies show most options in the Indian market are loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, or even unsafe additives. In fact, a recent FSSAI survey (2022) found that more than 70% of parents are concerned about the safety and nutritional value of what they add to their child’s milk. WHO too recommends limiting added sugar in children’s diets to protect long-term health.
That is why Little Joys Nutrimix exists created for Indian parents who want safe, tasty, and wholesome nutrition without added sugar. Whether it is through homemade mixes or our ready to use, pediatrician approved Nutrimix, we believe milk should be both nourishing and loved by kids.
1. Dry Fruit Powder Mix
A traditional favorite in Indian households, dry fruit powder adds both taste and nutrition to milk. Roasted almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios are ground into a fine mix and stored in an airtight jar. Just a spoonful in milk provides healthy fats, protein, and energy perfect for growing kids who need a wholesome boost in the morning or evening. This is similar to how Little Joys Nutrimix uses real nuts to bring safe energy into kids diets.
2. Nutrimix Milkshake (Little Joys)
The easiest way to make milk both tasty and healthy is with Little Joys Nutrimix. It blends walnuts, almonds, ragi, and bajra into a naturally nutrient rich mix that supports focus, active play, and healthy growth. Just mix two scoops into warm or cold milk. Unlike most flavored powders, Nutrimix is lab tested, preservative free, and pediatrician approved. Parents can simply stir it in for a safe, delicious milkshake kids look forward to.
3. Ragi and Jaggery Mix
Ragi is a super grain packed with calcium and iron, and when paired with jaggery it becomes a tasty and nutrient rich milk mix. Roasting ragi flour before combining it with jaggery powder makes it easy to store and use daily. This combination supports healthy bones and nutrition for growth years while keeping flavors familiar and comforting for children.
4. Haldi Masala Mix
Haldi doodh is an age old Indian remedy for immunity, but kids often find it too strong. A milder masala mix of turmeric, black pepper, and cardamom makes it more child friendly while still offering the same benefits. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, and pepper helps with absorption turning a simple glass of milk into a natural immunity booster.
5. Cocoa and Dates Blend
Most kids love chocolate milk, but the store bought versions are often high in sugar. Grinding dates with unsweetened cocoa creates a naturally sweet, chocolatey blend. It gives the richness of cocoa without refined sugar, while dates add fiber and essential minerals. This healthy twist satisfies cravings and keeps parents worry free. Just like Little Joys Nutrimix, this option avoids refined sugar and uses natural sweetness.
6. Saffron and Almond Powder
For a festive aromatic option, saffron and almond powder works beautifully. A few dried saffron strands blended with almonds create a golden mix that enhances both taste and nutrition. This combination adds antioxidants, supports iron absorption, and introduces kids to traditional Indian flavors often enjoyed in celebrations.
7. Oats and Flaxseed Mix
Oats are rich in fiber, and flaxseeds bring in plant based omega 3s together they make milk filling and nourishing. Dry roasting oats and flaxseeds before grinding gives a nutty flavor and helps with digestion. This mix is excellent for school mornings as it provides slow release energy and nutrients that support focus.
8. Cardamom Elaichi Mix
Simple yet effective, cardamom mixed with a pinch of nutmeg turns milk into a fragrant, soothing drink. It aids digestion, calms the stomach, and has been used in Indian kitchens for centuries. This mix is particularly helpful in the evenings as it settles kids before bedtime while making milk more enjoyable.
9. Banana and Nut Butter Shake
For days when kids want something quick and filling, a banana blended with peanut or almond butter in milk works perfectly. It is creamy, naturally sweet, and loaded with potassium, protein, and healthy fats. This combination doubles up as a snack and keeps children energized between meals.
10. Choco Nut Blend
A healthier twist on chocolate milk, this blend uses cacao nibs, almonds, and a touch of jaggery. It has the same rich flavor children love but with far better nutrition. Magnesium from cacao supports growth, while nuts add protein and good fats. Parents can feel good about serving this instead of sugar heavy chocolate powders.
