Mango Kheer-Rakhi Special

Rakshabandhan is just around the corner and we all are naturally very excited about the merriment this beautiful festival brings along. The kids in particular look forward to this time when they can indulge in mouth watering sweets & receive gifts.

Especially keeping in mind this beautiful festival, Momsters brings along it’s very own version of the traditional Indian dessert - Kheer. We all love kheer & with a little change here & there we can make it even more interesting & nutritional for the kids.

Yummy Summer Treats for Kids!

We know the mercury has been soaring & there isn't much respite from the heat in the coming months. Mommies worry about keeping their children hydrated as well as excited about the thirst-quenchers & heat-beaters that are offered to them.

Momsters found some exciting fun recipes online which are perfect for the summer. Your child will absolutely love them.

Picking Kid's Health Drink

Picky Eaters… it is not just a phrase, it gives parents nightmares. I have heard so many parents out there say “My kid doesn’t eat ANYTHING”. I know how it is; Zoe has been on a no-food diet forever. We all keep on worrying about the right diet, nutrition, et al. And when we see so many advertisements on Television, boosting “Just 2 glasses are enough for your child’s daily nutrition…" You have no option but believe what they claim. You start feeling happy that you are raising stronger, healthier, sharper, brighter kids. 

Health drinks are not at all necessary, if your child is an extremely fussy eater, then you might want to opt for one of the health drinks available. Dr. Rachna Sethi, a nutritionist says, “These health drinks like Horlicks, Complan, Bournvita, more than anything else have malt in it which gives taste and flavor to milk. Other than that, these drinks are fortified with minerals like iron and vitamin C which milk lacks hence these drinks do add to the nutrition.” Another renowned nutritionist Dr. Shweta Iyengar believes “Nutritional drinks are not indispensible; these are required today because kids have become fussy about what they eat and drink. If you think your child is not getting the required nutrition for his age, these options are necessary.”

Yummy Brownies with Your Preschoolers

Momsters love spending time with their kids, weekends mean fun time with them. This weekend we spent baking some totally Scrumptious brownies with my 4 year old. Zefan loves baking, and I just love the look on his face when he sees the final product.

Very Veg Pancake

My daughter loves Pancakes and so do I, I mean who doesn't like a light fluffy pancake with maple syrup and butter. Besides the fact they taste good, the best thing about Pancakes is they are really quick and easy to make. Z has to have pancakes especially on weekends with dad.

This is a modified version (savoury vegetable pancakes) which have become our absolute family favorite. We call them Very Veg Pancakes.
