Green Drinks

October 16, 2014 By Kris Kelly

Let’s get back to the basics with two of our favorite Green Drinks.  Green juices and smoothies are staples around the Kelly house and truly the best way I have found to get more veggies into our diet.  Kids seem to love working with mom or dad in the kitchen and especially enjoy making smoohties. I have found giving children the power to create, and trusting the process of experimentation, is best when turning kids onto healthy foods.  

Give your little ones a general guideline: It’s all about choices…

  • 1 “milk” base:  almond milk, cashew milk, hemp milk, soy milk, coconut milk
  • 1 green leafy vegetable:  spinach, kale, romaine
  • 1-2 types of fruit:  strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, apples, mango, pineapple, figs….it’s endless!
  • Something creamy:  1 banana, 1 scoop almond butter, peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.  
  • Of course, feel free to offer any boosts you like:  cacao nibs, almond butter, peanut butter, superfoods, etc.  

Give them a little notebook to jot down their recipe and make sure they give it a name…every good recipe needs a fun name!  It’s always a joy watching children drink a cup full of nutrition and have fun making it themselves.
