You would think that after a year of making this smoothie all the friggin time, that she would get bored with it. Nope!
It's pink
It's delicious
It's beyond healthy (even though she doesn't know this)
It's pink (did I mention that;)
I think that because it is pink, and Parker is into anything pink and sparkly these days, she is more open to this smoothie as oppose to the other green smoothies I make her.
Green smoothies are amazing and I make and serve them all the time. But Parker doesn't wake up demanding a green smoothie, let's get real, she's 3! Most of the time, I don't even wake up craving a green smoothie.
So I used this passion for pink and turned her favorite pink smoothie in the ultimate healthy pink smoothie, without her even knowing it! #momwin
I loaded up this smoothie with strawberries, raspberries, a banana, beets, hemp seeds, kefir and just a squeeze of honey. Combined, these whole ingredients create a power-house meal for your little one that they will gladly drink down.
MY TODDLER'S FAVORITE PINK SMOOTHIE
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 - 1 small beet, frozen (see notes above)
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1/2 cup kefir
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used coconut milk)
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup of ice
Instructions
1. Place all ingredients into a high speed blender. Run on the smoothie setting or on high for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth.
2. Serve and enjoy!
Notes on Honey
Honey should only be served to kiddos over the age of 1. You can also use 3-4 pitted dates that have been soaking in hot water for 5 minutes in place of a sweetener.
Notes on Kefir
Kefir can be tart for some kiddos, so you might want to start using just a little bit of kefir and the rest milk to get them used to the taste at first. You can also use a little bit more sweetener or a flavored kefir if you prefer.
Age: 9 months (without honey) and older
Prep Time: 5 minutes or less
Serving: 3 small servings or 2 large servings
