4 Easy Smoothie Recipes For Kids



Smoothies are an excellent way to get your kids away from traditional breakfast foods that aren't so healthy but are very convenient. Smoothies don't need to be be friend in butter and they surely don't need any extra fats added in them (unless of course they are healthy fats!) Parents are constantly becoming more aware of the food we put into our children's bodies. Smoothies are a easy convenient way to help our children eat more healthy fruit and less convenient junk food!

 One of the best parts about choosing smoothies as a breakfast option is the convenience factor! Smoothies can be prepared ahead of time in ziplock bags and frozen in the right proportionals so all you need to do is pull the fruit out and add some juice, yogurt or whatever else you like to add.

 Remember, that losing weight isn't just about eating right, it's also about living an more active lifestyle. Many people are under the misconception that if you eat right you will lose weight. Although that may be true for some people it's not true for all people. And on the other hand some people think all you need to do is exercise and you will lose weight. Again, for some people it works for for many of us it's the healthy combination of both exercise and diet that will help us reach the healthier us that we are reaching for.

This is my absolute favorite smoothie! Sometimes I add a thing or two more, or swap this for that, but this is mainly it. I will explain each ingredient and its importance a little bit. From left to right. Instant Coffee - This is a good way to get a little extra kick out of your smoothie! I use this because I am often working out in the mornings and then I have my smoothie afterwards. The caffeine really helps! You can buy this online HERE. PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - PB2 is powdered peanut butter. The directions say to add 1 tbsp of water to 2 tbsp of PB2 but I just add the powder to my smoothie mix! PB2 is like peanut butter without all most of the fats and oils. I love it. PB2 is available at Amazon.com Green Superfood Blend - This is a superfood blend.
