Aside from my daughter’s dose of milk, I wanted to give her a healthy drink that would be a great match to her favorite snack. I decided to never bring in chocolate drinks as it has loads of sugar. A friend of mine told me to try Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink and it wasn’t a hard job looking for it as it was super available. You could see it overflowing in supermarkets and even available in some sari-sari stores.

Vien started having Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink when she turned 1. She loves it! I served the one in 90ml pack; once daily. I told you on my previous blog that I tend to worry too much especially if it includes my baby’s health and being, but glad to say that Dutch Mill never gave me worries. It never gave my daughter even the slightest cramp. I tasted it myself out of curiosity and was amazed that it was not too sweet; it’s creamy and very flavorful.

It eventually became her favorite drink. If she finds it in the shopping bag or in the refrigerator she would excitedly grab it and ask someone to open it for her. It comes in many flavors like orange, strawberry, blueberry and mixed fruits; she drinks whatever flavor we serve her (hehe). Because it’s Yoghurt, I know and I am quite sure that I am giving my daughter a healthy drink.

Some Interesting Facts:

Dutch Mill is a wholesome drink from fresh cow’s milk and refined with lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus (Which means it is a probiotic drink.. Probiotic are live microorganism that is good for the health) . Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink is cholesterol-free, rich in calcium, iron and protein.

 Mommies, if you are in search of a healthy and flavorful drink for your baby, then Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink is best… J

It's me eating durian :P
When I was in my elementary years, I hated durian because of its smell and more because of its taste. I wondered then why other people liked it so much!  I find it awful.

Of course that was when I was still a poor ignorant kid who lacked the talent of appreciating things.. (hehe) yes, ignorant!

I started loving this fruit when my cousins teased me “ignorant”. That was also the same accusation coming from my very own family when I hesitated to eat durian every time there was a family gathering- “ignorant”…I was challenged enough to refuse the dare. My cousins all laughed at me and were trying to make fun of me. (argh!)

I tried to muster all my bravery (haha, I know it’s exaggerated but I really did) and at last I took a bite and to my amazement, it was wow! Why I never liked this delicious fruit before! Thinking of the times I missed eating such a creamy flavorful durian made me very remorseful. (haha)

Now, whenever I have the money and durian is super available, I will make sure that I will never miss a thing! 

Here in our place the price varies from 30Php/kilo to 50Php/kilo and durian can weigh from 3 kilos to maybe 10 kilos the highest? Hehe I am not so sure ‘coz I am used to buy durian which is less than 5 kilos hehehe. Yes. It’s a little expensive but it worth the money!

Durian is available in different types/breeds. I am not very particular with it but there varieties that is more juicy and yummy than the other.

Health facts:
      Durian fruit contains high amount of sugar, potassium, vitamin C and amino acids. It is also a good source of carbohydrates, fats and protein. The fruit serves as a remedy for fever by boiling its roots or leaf and drink the decoction.

Durian is considered as a high-glycemic food (Foods that raise glucose to varying levels) thus, recommending minimal consumption. As said, too much is bad for the health.  So, eat wise! :P
