What to mix 'Eye-Q smooth' with to take taste away?

Hope this will be ok posted in this section...
I bought some fish oils for my DD, on recommendation of school, for behaviour problems. I looked carefully at all the brands in Boots, and picked the one that said 'no fishy taste'. (Eye-Q.) But she doesn't like it 'neat' (I don't blame her, I think it's quite vile). I tried mixing it with pineapple juice, but it's still pretty strong. Anyone got a good idea of what to mix it with that tastes nice and is even stronger than it? Smile

Thanks Maryz. We'll try to persevere with the ones we have until they run out - at the price they are I can't afford to waste them. Will def get some smoothie to try! We might try capsules next...
We're only on day two so far - any idea how quickly a change might be noticeable? You sound like you believe fish oils work, I really hope they do.

Thanks again Maryz. The problem with behaviour is actually at home - she's an angel at school, and a demon at home. I had an informal chat with the Senco there, who is so knowledgable about all sorts of things. She suggested fish oils as something to try (as in, can't do any harm!) while we work on other strategies. Dd is still pretty young, and I'm struggling with her so much, and in my head inventing all sorts of reasons why her difficult behaviour is solely my fault. Big sigh about the guilt thing...

This vanilla version mixed with milk is tastless. DS has never noticed. xx

Yoghurt or fromage frais - DD did not seem to notice the vanilla liquid when mixed with these. Unfortuanately we had to stop anyway as it gave DD very loose stools Sad.

According to ben goldacre, there is no research that says that fish oil works www.badscience.net/category/fish-oil/. If there is a food intolerance causing behavioral problems then fish oil might exacerbate it. But if your dd can behave at school she probably doesn't have any real behaviour problem anyway.
