My boys are smoothie lovers! Especially my oldest, who is 3.5 years old. He is the pickiest eater, in that he does not like how certain foods look or the texture of them. But good for me, he LOVES his smoothies. I say that because then I know for a fact that he is still eating a balanced diet, chock full of fruits, veggies and other great nutrients. I still try hard to get him to eat more solid foods, but on “those days,” I’m glad I can just make him a quick smoothie and know he is good to go!
We do try different varieties, however this one is one of our favorites and has the largest variety of fruits and veggies. Sometimes we also add other nutrients, such as spirulina, wheat grass powder or other fun green healthy things, when we have them available.
