5 Smoothies Your Child Will Love
Getting your child to eat healthily can feel like a never-ending struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. Try these healthy smoothie recipes, and watch your little munchkin happily slurp them up with no question about the ingredients.
Orange Tropical Paradise
Your child will be so busy slurping up the sweetness of pineapple, banana, and mango that they won’t even notice carrots! Carrots contain many beneficial nutrients to help your kids grow healthy and strong, including potassium, vitamin A, and various antioxidants. Add vanilla almond milk and greek yoghurt for texture and taste, then put this delicious blend into a cup with a straw and watch it magically disappear before your eyes.
Berry Berry Good
Colour matters for kids–and what child wouldn’t want to drink up this magical purple smoothie? Blend blueberry greek yoghurt, vanilla almond milk, frozen berries, and kale–yes, kale–to complete this vivid creation. Kale is the superfood of leafy greens, with many essential vitamins and minerals to fuel your child’s growth and development, and you can’t even taste it in this blend. You’ll be surprised how quickly your little tyke empties their smoothie cup.
Strawberry Banana Yumminess
This one is full of good stuff, featuring deliciously sweet strawberries and bananas, once again mixed with vanilla almond milk and greek yoghurt. The secret ingredient in this tasty mixture is finely chopped bell pepper. The colour and taste will blend perfectly in your kid’s smoothie cup, making this recipe a homerun for little ones.
Queen of Green
If your child isn’t too put off by the colour green, they’ll find this one surprisingly tasty. Almond milk, banana, frozen mango, peanut butter, rolled oats, avocado, and spinach make a delicious and nutritious snack. The pale green shade is bright enough that your child won’t be too suspicious…maybe.
Dragon Fruit Delight
Put this one in a cup with a straw and watch your child gasp over the gorgeous pink-purple colour. While sweet potato may be the hidden healthy saviour in this mix, it’s a dragon fruit that gives it that beautiful colour. Mix cooked sweet potato, mango, almond butter, dragon fruit, and a pinch of vanilla powder if necessary. If dragon fruit is hard to come by, you can substitute it for frozen berries.
