A member asked:
Is letting a 2.5 year old have a small sip of a protein shake a bad thing or ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't see any harm: A protein dominated shake is essentially an alternative nutrition source. A 2.5yo may have an allergic reaction to one of the components of the shake as s/he might to any new food. Otherwise, a sip or a few ounces of such a drink would be unlikely to cause any harm.
