FUN smoothie ADD-INS

Smoothies are a great way to get in extra nutrient-dense ingredients into your little ones’ diet without them knowing about it. Feel free to add in a couple (not all;) of these ingredients into any smoothie on this list. While these are great boosters, don’t feel like you have to add anything else to the smoothie if you don’t have the time or resources to do so.

• hemp seeds: an easy way to get in extra protein into a smoothie as hemp seeds contain 33% by weight and sustainable source of Omega-3s, amino acids, fatty acids, protein, and minerals. Can add in 1/2-2 teaspoons into any smoothie.
• bee pollen: bee pollen contains over 200 compounds, minerals, vitamins and essential amino acids. I find bee pollen is an easy way to ease symptoms on seasonal allergies for my family. Can add in 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon to any smoothie.
• chia seeds: are loaded with protein, antioxidants, essential omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and fiber. Can add in 1/2 – 1 teaspoon into any smoothie.
• coconut oil: a great way to get in some extra healthy fat into your smoothies, which will help keep your kiddos fuller for longer. Can add 1 teaspoon – 1 tablespoon to any smoothie.
• probiotics: helps with promoting balanced and healthy digestion. Add in 1/2 – 1 serving of liquid or powder probiotics.
• fish oil: loaded with omega-3 fatty acid, fish oil helps support brain development, learning, and a healthy nervous system. Can add in 1/2 serving of any fruit flavor to a smoothie. This is the only way my kids will take fish oil.

Can toddlers have smoothies?

Yes! Toddlers and kids can definitely have smoothies made with any fresh or frozen ingredients you have. I always start first-time smoothie drinkers off with a sweet pink or blueberry smoothie, but any of the recipes below are fair game. Head over to this post if you are looking for smoothies for kiddos 1 year and younger.

Tips for Making the Best Smoothies

• Blend: you will want to blend your smoothies really well to make sure you get out all of the chunks of fruit or veggies (not many kids love chunks of spinach in their smoothies 🙊). If you have a smoothie setting on your blender use that, or blend starting on low and increasing to high speed for 2-3 minutes.
• Frozen Foods are Your Friend: while it’s great to use fresh produce to make smoothies, don’t let that stop you if you don’t have any on hand. I always have a stash of frozen bananas, fruit and greens in my freezer for smoothies.
• Use Frozen Bananas: I’ve been using frozen bananas instead of ice in my smoothies for the past year and it really makes all the difference. Frozen bananas make the smoothie more creamy and smooth without the extra ice. I take any super brown bananas (the same kind you would use for banana bread) and cut them roughly into 8 pieces. Then I just pop those pieces into a stasher bag and place them in the freezer. When I got to make a smoothie I take 8 pieces and know it’s roughly the size of one banana. It’s a game-changer!
• Yogurt: you can always add in probiotic-rich yogurt to your kiddos smoothies. You can add a couple of tablespoons up to 1/4 cup without really changing the smoothie recipe. If you are using plain Greek yogurt, you may want to add in a little more sweetener as Greek yogurt tends to be tart.
• Reluctant Toddler – DIY Smoothie Bowls: if your toddler or kid is reluctant to smoothies, I have found that if you pour the smoothie into a bowl and let them top it with their favorite toppings (cereal, dried fruit, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, granola, etc) this makes the smoothies suddenly fun and they become more open to the idea.

Ingredients

• 1/2 ripe banana with lots of brown spots, fresh or frozen
• 1/4 avocado
• 1/4 cup spinach, packed
• 1/4 cup whole milk plain yogurt, use plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option
• 3-4 ice cubes
• 2/3 cup milk, regular, almond, coconut, oat, etc.
• pinch chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

• Add all ingredients to a blender.
• Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides if needed, until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
• The smoothie should be on the thinner side so it's easier for baby or toddler to drink from a straw. Pour into a cup and serve

Notes

Age: 9 months and up

Makes: 2, 4-5 oz servings

Storage: Can save in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Ingredients will separate, so shake before serving. 

Ripe Banana: using a really ripe banana will help give this smoothie some sweetness. If you find that it isn’t sweet enough for your toddler or kid, you can add in 1-2 tbsp of honey, maple syrup or agave nectar. 

Fun Additions: we love adding in a 1/3 cup of frozen pineapple or mango to this smoothie for a fun twist.
