Some Possible Add-Ins Include:
Another variation, besides the Chocolate flavor, is Vanilla with a liquid vitamin that has an Orange flavor - making it taste like a Creamsicle!
This recipe can also be made with orange Floradix Kinder Love Children's Multivitamin Supplement, for children 4 years of age and over.
