As soon as you start trying to have a baby, it is advised to start taking a prenatal supplement.

Yes, it is perfectly fine to mix the Toddler Smoothie with milk instead of water, particularly if your toddler finds it more enjoyable. Try also blending it with their favourite fruits for added nutrition and enjoyment.

When your child turns 4 or older, the Toddler Smoothie is perfectly safe for them to keep using because it is designed to be supplemental to their daily nutritional intake.

In an ideal world, if your young child is eating a balanced diet according to the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating then they do not need any supplementary foods.

However, owing to our busy time-poor lives and if your child is a fussy eater, then your child may not get adequate nutrition for their normal growth and development. In such instances, you may wish to give them a supplementary food, such as the Optivance Toddler Smoothie.
