Our friends at the <a href=\"https:\/\/openphysed.org\/\">Online Physical Education Network (OPEN)<\/a>, have been working hard to put together resources for families to run their own Field Day at home.

A fun way to get your servings of fruits and veggies is to turn your smoothies into frozen treats! Yesterday, we learned that Vitamin D provides many benefits like keeping out bones strong and even giving us a mental boost. So, today, let\u2019s try this green smoothie that not only tastes delicious but it\u2019s chocked full of the good stuff to keep you healthy.<br>Ingredients:<br>\u2022 1 chopped banana (frozen)<br>\u2022 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)<br>\u2022 1 cup of spinach or kale<br>\u2022 \u00bd cup low fat yogurt<br>\u2022 1 cup water or milk (low-fat or almond)<br>\u2022 1 cup Ice<br>\u2022 Small paper dixie cups<br>\u2022 Popsicle sticks (or plastic spoons if you have them!)<br>Directions:<br>Mix in a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour your smoothie into a small dixie cup and freeze it for \u00bd hour. Once it starts to firm up, stick in your popsicle stick and freeze for several more hours until it\u2019s solid. Tap them on a counter to loosen the popsicle and it will pop out of the cup!
