Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Healthy Smoothie Recipe (Creative Rainbow Smoothie)
Smoothies are a great way to encourage children to eat the rainbow. You can add fruit and veggies and even add in some ingredients that can provide plant-based protein and healthy fat.
Use our formula to be creative this week as you build a creative smoothie so that your child can eat across the rainbow!
Ingredients:
● 1 cup milk
● 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit (ex: blueberries, strawberries, mango, apple, banana)
● 1/2 cup veggies fresh or frozen (ex: kale, spinach, cauliflower, zucchini, squash, sweet potato, beets)
● Add in plant protein and fat: hemp or chia seeds, nut butter, avocado
Print this mini poster for your fridge so you can practice smoothie building in the kitchen!
Add to the nutrition fun! Listen to You Are What You Eat from Hip Hop Public Health while you are making your smoothie! Don’t forget to share your smoothie creations by posting it online, using #healthykidsquarantined.
