Cold, fruit soups may seem a bit sophisticated for a toddler, but think again. They are perfect—sweet, healthy, and refreshing. Come to think of it, they are perfect for anyone on a hot summer day. Bring two spoons to the table with a bowl of this soup. Better yet, bring a second bowl—toddlers aren’t much for sharing. Enjoy!

½ cup pineapple, cut into chunks

1/2 cup of milk (soy or dairy)
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons lime juice
Sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon

Puree all ingredients in a blender. Chill and serve.
