orange juliet

Juliet has never taken a liking to whole milk. She'll take a drink and then open her mouth and let everything she just drank drip out of her mouth ... then request some juice ... likely to wash the taste out of her mouth :)

So, I'd been using whole milk to make pancakes for her and trying to put it in other things, but didn't feel like I was really able to get any real good amount in her system. She likes other dairy products and I wasn't really worried about it from a health perspective, but I'd just like her to drink some milk. I thought about trying chocolate milk, but just can't bring myself to put sugar in her milk to make her like it. A few weeks ago I tried to make a smoothie with some frozen blueberries and milk. No success. I thought it tasted pretty good myself, but she did not agree.

Then, I had a brilliant idea. Her orange juice! I mixed about 1 oz of milk in with her morning 12oz of oj and she drank it just like she normally does -- nonstop in the first 5 minutes after she wakes up in the morning :) I've upped the amount of milk a bit, but it's still mostly oj and she loves it ... it's a Schulte style Orange Julius Juliet!
