Benefits of Peanut (groundnut) For Kids
Kids need more protein as they grow, and it’s important they receive it from healthy sources. Peanuts contain more plant-based protein than any other nut, which is part of why the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends peanuts to help meet children’s protein needs. In addition to helping kids feel fuller for longer, peanuts also support healthy development.

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT MILK ( 1 year+)
Peanut Milk is the best way to get the nutritional benefits of groundnuts without chewing.
Ingredients
2 cups of roasted peanuts
10pieces of dates(sweetner)
Blender
Cheesecloth
-Start by placing your roasted peanuts in a large bowl, then add water until the peanuts are covered . Let them soak for four hours or overnight. Soak the dates too and remove the seeds
-Pour off the soaking water and rinse the peanuts well.
-Place the nuts in the blender, then pour in four cups of clean water. Remove the dates from water and add to the blender
-Blend for 1-2 minutes on high, or until the nuts are finely ground.
-Place your cheesecloth over a clean bowl, then pour the nut milk into it. Gather up the sides and gently squeeze and knead the bag to get out as much milk as you can.
Pour the nut milk into an airtight container (a large jar works well) and store in the refrigerator–it’s best when it’s cold. Some settling will happen, so be sure to shake it well before drinking or using. It should last for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.
