Thank you for this!!! My 9mo will be transitioning soon and I am so worried about cow’s milk for him! I’ll talk to the pediatrician tomo and see what he thinks

The Juice is Juiced and the ingredients like romaine and avocado (which do not say juice) are blended. Sorry for the confusion!

Curious if she replied to this comment about the juicer/blender. I have the exact same question.

No problems with digestion here – my daughter is almost 14 months. And…she’s had her fair share of digestion issues! I am so relieved we’ve finally found a great alternative to cow milk. I make almond milk every other day for her (always seem to have almonds soaking on the counter…for better digestion) – she drinks about 15 ounces per 24 hours. Sooo…there’s some almond milk feedback for you!

I would not be concerned about the fiber content as o pertains to digestion. Animal Milk (not a human mother’s) is very difficult for babies to digest. Plant proteins, especially minimal amounts in blended form are much gentler and friendlier, even aiding the colon. If your concern is digestion, start small and see how your child reacts. Let me know!

I love the suggestions and keen to suggest to clients and friends. I was just wondering if you have had any feedback from Mum’s by now and whether the high fibre content compared to milk is a pro or a con for young children.

This is SOO helpful. Thank you for such a wonderful article. My one year old has so many intolerances and I’ve just started avocado smoothies w/ success. Great combo ideas above. I freeze lots of avocado in cubes and pull from the freezer when needed. I usually make 2 small smoothie combos per day. I’ll be trying the above next week!!
