Healthy Smoothies For Kids better than snacks

All those sugary drinks and snacks may be convenient, but in the long run are not the healthiest thing to feed your kids. If you own a blender, it is time to get some good use out of it by creating healthy smoothies for kids.

The best part about smoothies is that you can save your smoothie mixes for later by pouring them into popsicle molds for you and your kids. We have a short list of healthy smoothies for kids, that don’t have any added sugar in them, enjoy!

The secret to these healthy smoothies are the veggies for the extra nutrients. Using almond milk (or any other non dairy milk), and adding yogurt or even chia seeds to get some protein in.

Heathy Smoothies For Kids
Orange Banana Smoothie

Orange Banana Smoothie:

  • one orange
  • banana (preferably ripe)
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Handful of ice cubes

Make sure the smoothie gets blended really well to get a creamy consistency with no chunks. Consequently this is the perfect kind of healthy smoothies for kids to drink before a school day. Find an orange juice that just contains juice and no added sugars to get the healthiest choice possible. Importantly fruit juices are not bad for your kids, it just all comes down to having a balanced diet.

Choco Oatmeal Smoothie:

  • 200 ml almond milk
  • 1 really ripe banana
  • 2 Tbsp quick oats
  • 1 tsp cocoa
  • 4 – 6 ice cubes

You can add more or less milk depending on the consistency you want. It is imperative to get the most ripe banana for this one so that its natural sugars can add to the flavor of the smoothie. Subsequently in this recipe, oats provide the energy that kids. Importantly to get them through the morning. Blend this smoothie thoroughly to avoid chunky bits from the oats.

Blueberry Chia Smoothie:

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 small banana
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup fresh spinach
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp chia seeds

As a result this healthy smoothies for kids turns out purple so no one will be able to tell that you added spinach in there. Hidden veggies are great for fussy eaters. They will be happy with the berry flavor, and you will be happy knowing they are also getting some good nutrients from the spinach, it’s a win-win situation. Alternatively, you can do a ½ cup of mixed berries or even a ½ cup of blackberries in this recipe if those are the berries you have on hand. In addition for the best results, use frozen berries rather than fresh berries for this smoothie.
