Chloe could read books all day long, so we spend a lot of time in her room plowing through stacks of them. Often when there’s a picture or mention of food in a book she loves, Chloe becomes intent on having some for herself.

That’s exactly what happened when we first read I Am Not Sleepy and I Won’t Go To Bed, one of the books in Lauren Child’s awesome Charlie and Lola series. For the next few days, all Chloe asked for to drink was Strawberry Milk, which is Lola’s favorite. I wanted to get some, but I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of buying what passes as pink milk at the grocery — milk mixed with lots of sugar and food dyes. Instead, Chloe and I came up with this recipe.

Simple, creamy and above all….PINK (which makes Chloe endlessly happy), this is one of those simple recipes which we’ll most definitely be making again this Valentine’s Day while we’re curled up on the rug reading Charlie and Lola (and a lot of our other favorite books) and thinking up new recipes based on whatever we find in the pages!

  1. What a great idea! My boys loved it. I really love that you have great recipes that are easy and healthy. Thank you for providing such a wonderful resource!

  2. This was a hit with one of my boys who loved it – we use soy or almond milk. Do you know if this stores well if I ,make a bigger batch or will it settle funny? I’d really would love to know since my son has now decided not to drink just plain soy or almond milk whenever I serve it – which is with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
