We make smoothies here almost every morning. At first it seems like a lot of work, but actually it’s the easiest thing and it makes me feel good the kids are starting out with something healthy before the day inevitably turns into a junk fest. It’s also a great place to hide any vitamins or supplements they hate taking otherwise. A friend recently suggested adding fresh spinach and that’s brought things to a whole new level of smug-mommery. I made this one the other day and I was so excited about how it looked in the morning sun I did not realize how dirty the table was until posting this just now. So, sorry if that’s gross. This is the standard recipe I use, but truthfully it changes every time depending on what’s in the fridge. I always have frozen berries but in this case they were fresh strawberries and raspberries. To keep it from getting too sweet, I add bananas, usually frozen. GREAT TIP-instead of tossing brown bananas peel them, break them up and freeze them in a Ziploc. Then you’ll always have them to use for smoothies.
YUM!
I just made my very first selfmade smoothie. You can taste the health!
