Recipe #7: Wild-Berry Smoothie
Not every smoothie needs to be packed with dairy, so if you’re looking for something without or one that feels a bit lighter, this is for you. And because berries are so tart and vibrant, this is also a great mix to sneak extra veggies into!
Recipe #6: Go-To Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie
Strawberries and bananas are a classic pairing. And they’re kid-approved fruits too. Take a peek at this easy recipe, and start your kids mornings or afternoons off full of pep. We love adding vitamin mixes to smoothies and even the frozen spinach cubes that this recipe offers.

Not everyone wants to drink their kale, but when it’s paired with our favorite flavors, it’s always fulfilling. The kids love its sweetness and parents love the nutrition within every sip. It’s also full of fiber and includes beloved ingredients like peanut butter and banana!

Not every smoothie needs to be a sugar-packed frenzy. Instead, it can be tart and sweet naturally—like with the help of fresh raspberries. Frozen is the best route to go with the berries and you can throw in some bananas too to round out the nutrition and smooth out the tang.
