JUPALOF, a mixture of Ambon banana juice and low-fat milk, is a functional food designed to prevent anemia. the JUPALOF formulation must balance the ratio of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to calcium content by adding additional fortification and selecting low-fat milk and Clinical studies show that iron absorption can be significantly improved with vitamin C. Purpose : This community service was carried out with the aim of addressing the problem of anemia found in the TPMB Enok Siti Roiyatul area. Method: The method used in this community service involve lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. This study targets pregnant women with anemia in the TPMB Enok Siti Roiyatul area. Result: From the results of community service activities, mothers understand that JUPALOF is a banana drink with low-fat milk that can prevent anemia if consumed regularly and accompanied by a healthy diet and adherence to iron supplements as recommended by health workers. Conclusion: Based on an evaluation conducted after providing education on banana juice with low-fat milk, pregnant women gained increased knowledge about anemia, its impact on health, and the importance of balanced nutrition. The JUPALOF innovation, as a nutritious beverage alternative, was considered easy to make, easy to obtain, and acceptable as a beverage that can prevent anemia when consumed regularly.
