Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 This is so interesting, I'm trying to figure out how to make Luke's yogurt milkshakes brown. Part of his morning routine was always to have his " brown chocolate milk " (he titles things) which was his High Calcium Ensure. Of course we don't give that on SCD, and I've got the other 2 loving the yogurt " milkshakes " instead. But he won't touch it because it's not brown, not because it's not chocolate. I make him taste his tongue to the end of the straw once each morning and can tell he likes the taste but he just will not drink it. So, good luck on the blue, and let me know what you can think of for brown. Would blueberries work? They give off a lot of color, I've stained things with them before (inadvertently). in NC Mom of Luke, age 5, Asperger's/highly sensitive to phenols & salicylates/diarrhea & gas problems; , age 3, healthy; and , 19 mos, healthy All SCD going on 2 weeks Blue Food Coloring Has anyone come up with a substitute for blue food coloring? My daughter is obsessed with everything blue and she'll eat some things she otherwise wouldn't if they are blue- frosting, yogurt ice cream...

But that would most likely turn out purplish. If you cook down a bag of frozen, strain out the seeds/skin and reduce the juice to a syrup that would probably be a good add in to anything. I could even see it on some legal pancakes. That's of course assuming she isn't salicylate sensitive. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 For blue coloring, you could use a few drops of blue food coloring. I don't think it's illegal, but probably very high in phenols. I don't know of any food that will color things blue. Blueberries will turn things purple though if you think purple would be " close enough " to blue. For turning the milkshake brown, try pureeing dates or prunes. Maybe even mixing some prune juice in it, although that may make it too liquidy. But dates and prunes will turn stuff brown.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi , I have made nut butter & banana shakes before, these are brown. I gave them a splash of vanilla. My kids said they tasted like chocolate milkshakes. You might be able to start with these are gradually increase the amount of yogurt in them.
