Kale, Banana and Strawberry Smoothie 

If I don’t hear at least 15 times a day, “I am making a smoothie”, it will rain axes—or at least, it feels like it sometimes. 😅

Some commercials really get stuck in kids’ brains, and the phrases just keep echoing… endlessly. But here’s the silver lining: my little reminders are actually a great excuse for a smoothie party. Because yes, I make smoothies about five times a week for the whole family, and it has become such a fun routine.

Honestly, I love that idea. It’s like serving a raw, vitamin-packed glass of goodness with a side of smiles.

Here’s what I’ve learned along the way:

• Mix it up: Kale, spinach, or even a handful of herbs can sneak in nutrients without anyone noticing.
• Fruit is your friend: Bananas, berries, pineapple… they add natural sweetness and creaminess.
• Liquids matter: Coconut water, almond milk, or just plain water make a smoothie refreshing and hydrating.
• Greek yogurt: Adds protein, creaminess, and a little tang.
• Flax seeds: Fiber, omega-3s, and extra staying power for busy mornings.
• Aloe vera: I’ve swapped coconut water for raw aloe vera and aloe vera juice, and it’s amazing! It adds hydration, digestive benefits, and a subtle fresh flavor.
• Keep it cold: Ice or frozen fruit gives that frosty, fun texture kids (and adults!) love.
• Optional extras: A spoonful of nut butter, chia seeds, or oats adds staying power for busy mornings.

Tips for smoother smoothie mornings:

• Prep fruit the night before—kids can grab and blend easily.
• Let them “build their own” smoothie. Even picky eaters get excited about choosing colors and flavors.
• Keep a stash of frozen fruit handy for last-minute creations.

Honestly, smoothies have done wonders for our energy, moods, and even breakfast battles. Plus, it’s a little daily moment of fun and creativity with the kids.

Who knew a simple smoothie could be a lifesaver—and a mini happiness booster—in a glass

Cheers to sipping your way to better energy and health—one smoothie at a time!
