Have you ever wished that it was easier to get your kids to eat their fruits & veggies? Well, I have created 12 kid-friendly fruit and veggie smoothie recipes that will help your kids check off their 5-10 daily servings of fruits and veggies in just one meal! All you need is a high powered blender, and, if you plan on sending these smoothies to school with the kids, you will also need a good insulated thermos. Just make sure to check your school’s nut policy to make sure that you don’t endanger any other kids. You can always use seeds and seed milks instead of nuts and nut milks, and if you drink dairy, you can use a cow’s milk as a substitute as well. You could also use coconut milk or coconut water as well. For nut butters, you can use coconut butter or sunflower seed butter or even try experimenting with 1/4 of an avocado or a tablespoon of coconut oil.
