Looking for Kid Friendly Smoothie Recipes and Tips

My daughter makes fruit drinks and instead of yogurt she uses a banana. We have been doing some experimenting with different ingredients. My granddaughter is to avoid sugar so we look for sugar substitutes. One we found that many diabetes could tolerate is Maple Syrup and honey. Good luck with your children and their adventure to find the perfect smoothie.

Smoothies depends on the person's taste, but usually with sugar. On the other hand, if your children finds enjoyable with it but you think isn't healthy, then find a way to eradicate their habits. First of all, explain to them the best results about taking your suggestions, I mean the healthy side of what you're explaining about. You know what, children can be addicted to sugar, so try smoothies without sugar. The sweetness of the fruit could be the one who'll make the taste, with the aid of the milk. Just adjust the ingredients like; the ice, the milk, put only little but more on fruit like guava, mango, grapes,etc..with lots of vitamin C. Yes, you're absolutely right, smoothies were made up of more fruit, little milk, little ice, but if more milk and ice, it's not good and not healthy. Find the good ingredients that your children likes most and make them a habit for them. Hope it helps.

I usually add yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit. You can add basically anything you want. I use strawberry yogurt as vanilla is more sour tasting, and sometimes I add plain metamucil.
