Toddler " Hidden Veggie" Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk (kids need their fats)
• 1 whole banana, peeled (hehe, obvious)
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar or other artificial sweetener
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt

Frozen Add-ins can be any of the following

• 1/4 cup frozen cauliflower (I use this in almost all of the smoothies now)
• 1/4 cup frozen spinach
• 1/4 cup frozen strawberry or blueberries or pineapple or mixed fruit
• kale
• 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrot

Directions

1. 1

   Pour milk into the blender.

2. 2

   Add banana, sugar/honey/other, and then whatever frozen veggies AND a fruit to the blender. ***The key is you want to not go higher than halfway up a 5 cup blender or it gets too thick. Add milk or OJ if it gets too thick.

3. 3

   Put blender on a high setting and let it go at it for a good minute or two. Pulse a few times to make sure it's at the "right" consistency (too your liking).

4. 4

   Serve in a toddler friendly container--preferably something with a STRAW as they a) like straws and b) it helps with the intake of the smoothie. Do NOT put it in a sippy cup. Last warning -- my son had fresh kale in the first 3-4 of these I made and had some wicked black poo for days. Lets just say that was the end of the kale episode. ;).
