We all want our kids to eat more greens. One easy way to make that happen is through smoothies

.A few tips when making a green smoothie for your kids:

-Let them help. Many kids respond much better to new colors or textures when they are able to help with the process. 

-Don't be afraid to use less "greens" and add more fruit, especially when first introducing the green smoothie. This will give your kids that great fruit flavor and still get them greens. 

-Use a Squeasy! OK, we may be a little bias here, but having something fun to drink out of as well as masking the "color" for some kids can be a big deal. 

To get you started, here is a great green smoothie recipe from Super Healthy Kids

• 3 cups packed baby spinach
• 2 cups frozen peaches
• 1 cup frozen mango (or use fresh or more peaches)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup plain yogurt

Don't be afraid to change or modify the recipe. Use this recipe as a base and expand & experiment. 

HAPPY SMOOTHIE MAKING!!!
