Smoothies for Toddlers + Kids
Smoothies are a great (and easy) way to get nutrient dense fruits and vegetables into your kids without them really knowing it!
Spinach, sure!
Cauliflower, you bettcha!
Beets, of course!
Fruit, obviously!
The best part, is that toddlers and kids think that smoothies are the equivalent of having a milkshake. And I, for one, am never going to tell them any differently!
In our house, whenever I yell “‘it’s smoothie timmmmmeeee…” the girls come running. They start pulling out frozen fruits and veggies from the freezer, they grab their kitchen step stools and start helping me put together the smoothie of the moment.
For me, making smoothies is my secret weapon for providing a healthy meal for my little ones.
These 15 recipes will give you a ton of inspiration for some delicious and healthy smoothie-time action in your own kitchen.

SMOOTHIE Cups FOR Kids + TODDLERS WE LOVE:
FOR Toddler:
- Thinkbaby Thinkster – love that it is leakproof and easy for small kiddos to drink through. I cut the tips off of both ends of the silicon straw so my little ones could have an easier time sucking their smoothies out. Easy to clean!
For Kids:
- Re-Play Straw Cups – a great company doing great things for recycling! Love their new straw cups! Are not leak-proof but my kids had a hard time spilling anything from them. Fun colors and easy to clean (with a straw).
- Simple Goods – Stainless Steel Sippy Cup with Straw – great metal option for kids in a great 8 or 12oz size. Is spill-resistant and my kids only spilled these when one got knocked over and forgotten about.
- Ello Rise Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle – this is the smoothie cup my kids use all the time. It’s a great size, easy to clean and made of stainless steel. Would highly recommend it!

Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes: I really appreciate the variety and some combinations- green mint/chocolate or ginger/pear are surprising and tempting. It is very important to familiarize our little ones with all sorts of flavors and even the pickiest eaters will come to appreciate what nature has to offer if we try to "sell" it in a fun way :)! Thank you also for the tips with the smoothie cups- I really appreciate it and also I have come across some interesting models here: https://www.smoothieblenderguide.com/best-baby-smoothie-cup/
