This recipe will also work with strawberries, blackberries, and cherries. I have an Autistic 2yr. old son who prefers flavored milk over plain milk. We started him off with chocolate, then strawberry, then caramel. He started to get bored with these flavors and so I went to the supermarket. In the dairy section of milks I came across Oakhurst Wild Blueberry Milk and had my child try it. He likes blueberry milk but to buy a quart everyday is expensive. This is cost effective and all natural. We try to give our children foods with no chemicals or processed.
