Toddlers' Fruit Smoothie Breakfast |
My 19-month-old daughter and I drink these about three times a week. As soon as she hears the blender start, she runs into the kitchen yelling, "Smoothie! Smoothie!" Excellent nutrition, too: 3 out of 4 food groups!
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (2% or homo)
- 1 cup ice cubes (about 12)
- 1/3 can frozen concentrate juice (orange or any orange-blend is best)
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- fruit of choice: we use whatever is on hand, usually 1 banana, 1 peach, handful of blueberries and/or strawberries
- sprinkle of bran
- sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar
Directions
Put first six ingredients in blender and mix until smooth. Pour into cups. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top. Toddlers may prefer to use a straw: it's very thick! Makes about 6 cups.
