Prepared for sippy cups

This is a playful, informal term for a thick, smooth, and easily drinkable blended beverage or puree designed for toddlers transitioning from bottles to cups. It's typically made from blended fruits like bananas, mangoes, or peaches, often mixed with yogurt, milk, or a plant-based alternative for creaminess. The concept originated in modern parenting culture, focusing on convenient, nutritious, and spill-resistant options for young children.
