INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup whole milk (kids need their fats)
  • 1whole banana , peeled (hehe, obvious)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar orother other artificial sweetener
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt

    • Frozen Add-ins can be any of the following

  • 1/4 cup frozen cauliflower (I use this in almost all of the smoothies now)
  • 1/4 cup frozen spinach
  • 1/4 cup frozen strawberries or blueberries or pineapple or mixed fruit
  • kale
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots

DIRECTIONS

  1. Pour milk into the blender.
  2. Add banana, sugar/honey/other, and then whatever frozen veggies AND a fruit to the blender.***The key is you want to not go higher than halfway up a 5 cup blender or it gets too thick. Add milk or OJ if it gets too thick.
  3. Put blender on a high setting and let it go at it for a good minute or two.Pulse a few times to make sure it’s at the "right" consistency (too your liking).
  4. Serve in a toddler friendly container–preferably something with a STRAW as they a) like straws and b) it helps with the intake of the smoothie.Do NOT put it in a sippy cup.Last warning — my son had fresh kale in the first 3-4 of these I made and had some wicked black poo for days.Lets just say that was the end of the kale episode. ;).
