Drink ideas other than milk?

Hello! So I'm headed back to work soon. My daughter will be 9 months old. She's exclusively breastfed and won't take a bottle! She drinks water from her sippy cup but won't drink milk from it! Is there anything else I could give her as a drink to fill her up like milk would?
Any sort of smoothie maybe?
She will eat aswell but I just thought a filling drink might be a good back up if she doesn't eat much!

I used to make DS the Baby Led Feeding ones. He liked the blueberry and spinach. I also used to make him these smoothie ice lollies when it was hot.

I wouldn't worry too much about the milk though. My DS hates milk and never drank it, if they have a balanced diet, then it doesn't matter.

If you're BFing for the majority of the time, like before and after work and on your days off, she'll be fine with the odd cup of cows milk at Nursery Wink

If you breastfeed before/after nursery, I wouldn't worry too much. You could express and ask them to use that in cereal, etc? Mine never really drank milk from a cup, but ate loads of cheese/yogurt
