21 Easy And Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Kids

Your kid’s diet should have fruits and veggies for complete nutrition. But when he does not eat them in their solid form, you might want to consider smoothies.

A smoothie is a finely blended juice made of raw vegetables, fruits, and dairy products like milk or yogurt. Smoothies can also be 100% fruit, and free of dairy products. What makes a smoothie appealing to children is the creamy texture it gets due to its ingredients. Smoothies for kids are healthy and easy to make and can be had any time of the day. You can serve them during breakfast or as evening snacks.

Tips To Make Healthy Smoothies Appealing For Kids

Kids who are fussy about food will always find fault with it. No matter how tasty or appealing the food is, they will refuse to eat it. If you want to ensure that your kids are hooked to healthy smoothies, here are a few tricks you can use.

When you are introducing your kids to smoothies, make sure the ingredients are to their liking. If they love chocolate, make a chocolate flavored smoothie with a dash of fruit.

Make the idea of smoothies exciting – get your children involved in the process. Let them make smoothies with fruits of their choice, on the condition that they will drink it. Guide them to make sure that the smoothie they make is edible.

You are lucky if your child likes eating vegetables. Otherwise, you can disguise the tastes of vegetables with fruits or dairy products like cream or yogurt. For example, if you want to add broccoli or spinach to the smoothie, you can add a strawberry, banana, or grapefruit to give it a sweet and tangy flavor.

To make smoothies fun during summer, you can make Popsicles from them.

Tropical Fruit Breakfast Smoothie

Here’s the thing with smoothies. I love them, but one, they sometimes can give me a headache. I have no idea why this is, but it has always been the case and to be honest I still prefer eating my fruit whole. So I can really only ever drink half a glass before handing it off to my brother Brendan who is the Smoothie King.

Two, smoothies are really not a recipe. Or at least when I make them. See, I just throw whatever fruit I have on hand into the blender and maybe a little milk or a lot of time greek yogurt and call it a day. Sometimes, for my younger brother Red, I will swap the yogurt for ice cream because he loves it that way and he is literally a twig and needs the fat.
With that said though, I really wanted to make a smoothie full of summer fruits and heavy on the tropical flavors.

This smoothies is full of summer fruits and heavy on the tropical flavors.
