Notes

  • Bananas are the backbone of these simple smoothie recipes because they add a natural sweetness and make the creamiest smoothies!
  • If you have leftover smoothie, place it in a popsicle mold and freeze. Then you or the kids can enjoy them later as a popsicle. 
  • Feel free to add things you like, such as a little sweetener if needed or "superfoods" like a few teaspoons of any of the following: chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax meal, etc.
  • For those who don't love blended foods, try a smoothie bowl with a bit of the blended smoothie and allow them to top with their own additional toppings.
