Smoothie Sippy Cups for Baby + Toddlers we LOVE:

For Baby:

• 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!
• Munchkin Click Lock – a great sippy cup that if you take off the bottom straw attachment works great for a baby or toddler smoothie cup. Easy to clean!

For Toddler:

• 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!

Avocado Green Smoothie Ingredients

• Banana: full of potassium, fiber and other nutrients that help with digestion and heart health. Makes this smoothie super thick and frothy.
• Avocado: full of essential healthy fats and nutrients that help promote brain, eye, bone and muscle health! Great superfood for baby!
• Spinach: loaded with over a dozen flavonoid antioxidants, fiber, folate and vitamins K and A. These nutrients help with boosting immunity, helps support eye, skin, skin and bone health as well as protects against cancer cells. A must-have veggie for baby!
• Plain yogurt: filled with probiotics as well as healthy fats that boost brain functions as well as help baby have a healthy gut. You can use any cow or plant-based plain yogurt in this recipe.
• Liquid: you can use any liquid you prefer in this recipe – water, cow’s or plant-based milk, formula or breastmilk.
• Chia Seeds: I love adding in a pinch of chia seeds into this smoothie because they are loaded with antioxidants, omega-3’s, protein and fiber. Adding chia seeds is optional but highly recommend. This is a great brand that we use.

Sippy Cups: this and this (with the bottom straw attachment off) are my favorite sippy cups for smoothies for baby and toddler.
