Summer

Summers…that time of year when every kid waits for a vacation to explore more, play more and above all get permission to eat and drink which will make them happy.

I remember my childhood when summers used to be a time to experiment with new things – be it in my mom’s kitchen or in the garden in bored afternoons. I would make lemonades and invent new recipes to surprise my mother.

Now, when I see my kids doing the same every afternoon, I seriously relive the moment again. It’s a joy to see children to the best of their creativity.

On 17th May 2018 at St. Regis, Mumbai was all set to witness new cool breeze for kids as Abbott PediaSure India launched new Summer Special flavor Cookies and Cream that is making kids’ growth so much yummier! It is sure to make everyone’s summer fun as kids can focus on their play and mothers on their kid’s #TimeToGrow.

Special guests and famous celebrity couple Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi launched this amazing flavor and shared tricks and experiences on how to make summers the best way to connect with kids all the while instilling healthier eating habits.

Where little Chef Kicha stole the show with his amazing singing and yummy recipes around the cookies and cream flavor,  Dr. Eileen Canday, Expert Nutritionist from H. N Reliance Foundation Hospital and Dr. Indu Khosla, Practicing Pediatrician at Cloudnine hospital shared more knowledge on a healthy diet for kids.

Trust me a mother of two little munchkins; I was really happy to be a part of this great and amazing meet. Inspired by the little chef, sharing two recipes here which your kids can make and have at any time of the day by themselves and trust me all are healthy and easy to make.
