Kid-Friendly Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie
What kid doesn't need to add more fruits and veggies into their diet?!? I try to serve up fruits and veggies with almost every meal {and yes I count pasta sauce as a veggie sometimes}, but sometimes it can be fun to mix things up a little! I've found one of the easiest way to get my boys to eat their fruits {and veggies can be mixed in to} is to turn them into a smoothie. Now, this isn't really a recipe, more like a list of ingredients that you can mix, match, and combine to make any kind of fruit and yogurt smoothie that your kiddos will love!
Start with yogurt in a food processor or blender.
Any kind of yogurt will do.
We use vanilla flavored yogurt, but plain, greek, and even homemade yogurt will work.
Toss in a handful of frozen blueberries.
Add some frozen strawberries.
{We like a lot of strawberries!}
The more frozen berries you use, the thicker your smoothie will be.
Cut up a fresh orange...
...and let your little helper squeeze in the juice.
You can also just a little bit of orange juice from a bottle if that is what you have on hand...or just leave it out!
At this point, you an add in any other kind of fruit {bananas are yummy in this smoothie}you like, and you can toss in some spinach to get a serving of veggies in the mix too!
Then you put the lid on your food processor....
...and let your helper turn it on.
Blend the ingredients for a few minutes to make sure all the frozen fruit is mixed in well, then serve your smoothie in a mason jar with a cute striped straw.
Yummy.
Easy.
Kid-Friendly.
And full of good stuff!
