5 Ways to Make Lemonade (Better!)

With warmer weather heating things up around the country, we've got our eyes on one of Summer's most refreshing beverages.

With warmer weather heating things up around the country, we've got our eyes on one of Summer's most refreshing beverages. Few things in life come close to a nice cold glass of lemonade, but we've got five ways to make it better. Although it's often not a good idea to mess with a classic, let us assure you we have five versions your kids will love. Kicking up the good stuff with a twist like sparkling soda or strawberries, you're in for a treat and a little extra profit for their lemonade stand! Check out our five creative additions below:

  1. Have fun with fruit: Seriously, go to town adding all the fruit you please! From strawberries to blueberries, you'll be able to sneak in an extra serving of fruit without the little ones realizing it (win!). Try adding frozen fruit too. Not only will it add flavor, they act as ice cubes, keeping your drink nice and chill.
  2. Add a spritz: Make lemonade fizzy with soda water or all natural soda. This will bump up the fun factor, who doesn't love that?
  3. Accessorize: If you have the recipe down and want to keep with the classic, accent it with fun straws or cool cups.
  4. Go blue: Re-brand lemonade into slime! This recipe uses blueberry-flavored gelatin for a fun treat both big and little kids will like.
  5. Pop it: Turn lemonade into pops! Take your favorite recipe or mix and prepare as usual. Then, pour it into ice trays, add popsicle sticks, and freeze. Voilà!

5 Kid-Friendly Takes on the Milk Mustache

It's National Milk Day — the anniversary of the first time milk was delivered in bottles in 1878!

It's National Milk Day — the anniversary of the first time milk was delivered in bottles in 1878! A dietary must for our growing lil ones, milk can be a drink your kiddos either love or love to hate. If you battle with the latter more often than not, consider these five discreet ways to get them sippin'. From turning this calcium-packed drink into an Orange Julius or sweet hot cocoa, watch your tikes drink their way to strong without a fuss!

  1. Chocolate Milk: A favorite of both chocolate-lovers and kids! Instead of opting for store-bought, make your own with a spoonful of chocolate syrup or a scoop of a chocolate vitamin mix (like Ovaltine) for added nutrition. Stir it up with a magic milk straw for an extra dose of sweet!
  2. Milkshakes: Who doesn't love a thick, creamy milkshake? Although this treat can be packed with sugar, your kids can enjoy a daily dose of calcium with this healthy chocolate milkshake recipe.
  3. Orange Julius: This smooth and creamy drink made with orange juice and milk is a great alternative to cream sodas. Check out this frosty recipe that combines the best of fruit and dairy.
  4. Hot Chocolate: Your kids can decadently enjoy a glass of milk by sipping on hot cocoa. Use a simple powder or these fun hot-chocolate sticks, then top with a few marshmallows. Mmmm toasty.
  5. Cereal: Sounds basic, but get your kids to enjoy milk in cereal. If your kids usually don't have cereal for breakfast or only use it as an on-the-go snack, serve up cereal in a big bowl of milk and watch them start to sip!
