A kid-friendly spin on the classic St. Paddy's Day shamrock shake, we use kale + spinach to naturally color our smoothie green. Our version tastes like a banana milkshake and is naturally sweetened by dates!
While my kids don’t actually enjoy pumpkin pie, they do love the flavors of this cinnamon infused pumpkin citrus float. The beauty about this drink is it can be made cold in smoothie form or warmed on the stove for a cozy drink to cuddle with under blankets.
Nothing says autumn more than sweet apples and the warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. 🥧 This smoothie comes together in minutes, contains nutritious apples and bananas, whole grain oats, and is naturally sweetened by dates!
Now that winter is in full swing, I like to boost my family’s immune system with all my tried and true natural remedies. Our smoothie is packed with oranges rich in Vitamin C, carrots loaded with beta-carotene and Vitamin A (which helps your body create more white blood cells to fight off infection), dates rich with phytonutrients that can stimulate the immune system, manuka honey which is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti- bacterial (optional for our vegan friends), and ginger that produces strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Lately, we've been making this chocolate blueberry smoothie on repeat for an easy and refreshing summer breakfast. While this smoothie tastes like a chocolate milkshake, it's actually packed with antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3s from added chia seeds and hemp hearts. We throw in a hidden veggie (spinach) and naturally sweeten it with wild blueberries and ripe bananas. You can even meal-prep these smoothie cups, and then just add milk in the morning to blend!
I find smoothies are the easiest way to get my kids to eat their fruits & veggies, so we drink smoothies all year round! We made this Halloween-themed snack with all natural colors (thanks to pineapple, mango, and even pumpkin for some HIDDEN VEGGIES!)
Meet our Frankenstein Monster Smoothie Bowl made with clean ingredients and none of the scary artificial stuff. Would you believe that you can get such a rich green color from spinach rather than using the unhealthy chemicals from food dye?? My kids and I both love these 2 smoothies (the green face is a tropical fruit smoothie while the brown is a chocolate blueberry smoothie) because they taste delicious, have hidden veggies, and are perfect for Halloween!
All you need are four simple ingredients to make this cool, refreshing summer drink. Citrusy, tangy, and sweet!
Blend the watermelon, lime juice and mint smooth before the ice goes anywhere near the blender — add the ice at the end and pulse, or you end up with watery slush instead of a proper one. Three mint leaves is enough; much more and it tastes like toothpaste. Sweeten it by adding watermelon rather than sugar, sharpen it with more lime, and drink it straight away, because it separates as it melts.
An easy way to get my littles to eat green veggies is by mixing them into smoothies. Great for breakfast or snacks, this green smoothie tastes like a banana shake and is naturally sweetened by dates. My son calls it dinosaur juice, and I'm happy to call it whatever he wants as long as I know he's getting his fill of nutrients!
Limonana is the frozen mint lemonade you get everywhere in Israel, and it is four things in a blender: lemon juice, fresh mint, water and crushed ice. Maple syrup is optional, and we make ours barely sweet.
Pulse it rather than blending it. Run the blender too long and the mint goes bitter and the ice turns to water.
The colour is the entire selling point. Frozen dragon fruit turns this an unreasonable shade of pink with nothing added to it, which is the only kind of bright food I’m interested in making.
Every single ingredient comes from Costco — the dragon fruit, the strawberries, the pineapple, the peaches, the almond milk, the hemp seeds. No special trip anywhere.
All frozen fruit and one cup of milk means it comes out thick enough to eat with a spoon. Leftovers go into popsicle molds and freeze overnight.
