Sneaky Smoothies: Disguise Healthy Fruits and Vegetables in a Yummy Summer Staple
Smoothies for Kids
Smoothies are an easy way to get children their recommended serving of fruits and veggies, especially for those picky eaters. Smoothies can easily be tailored to suit individual needs and preferences. And, even kids with allergies can enjoy them. Smoothies are a great DIY snack for older kids; younger operators will require adult supervision. Pour the mixture in a sippy cup and you have a convenient, healthy snack to grab on-the-go.
