moothies are a great way to add extra fruit and vegetables into your diet while keeping you hydrated during our hot summer months! Smoothies can be served as a snack or added to a meal. Make it fun by getting the kids involved. They can choose their fruits and veggies for the smoothie and help by peeling bananas, cutting fruit (with supervision), and adding their selections into the blender (while it’s unplugged). Smoothie buffets can also be set up so everyone can make their own. Protein powder, greek yogurt and nuts can also be added to smoothies for a little extra nutrition. Making smoothies is a fun, creative process. Now go play with your food.
