This morning, I made my latest food obsession — Crunchy Potato Soft Tacos — but gave them a breakfast twist by skipping the lettuce. Since Little Finch isn’t a fan of potatoes, I surprised her with a kid approved smoothie recipe instead! It had been forever since we made smoothies, and I had a bunch of fruit to use up, so it was the perfect chance to whip up a healthy smoothie for kids. If you’re looking for an easy smoothie recipe for kids, this one is a winner!

…let’s let my kiddos tell you what they thought of them before we make them together…

little girl drinking a kid approved breakfast smoothie — “mmmm!!”

Did they sell you on this yet? I hope so!

Here’s what you need:

fresh strawberries, banana and blueberries and strawberry yogurt to make a smoothie — Strawberries (4-5), yogurt (any ol’ kind will do, but about 2 small containers will be best), blueberries (3/4c), 1 banana

strawberries and banana in a food processor — Place all ingredients into the blender…

strawberries, blueberries, banana and yogurt in a food processor — Cover with lid

blended strawberries, blueberries, banana and yogurt in a food processor — And chop, mix, puree…whatever you prefer

pouring milk into a blender with a fruit smoothie — Pour in a splash of milk if it’s too thick

kid approved breakfast smoothies with fruit in glasses with bunny rabbit decals — Pour into glasses and serve! Enjoy a fun healthy breakfast! (Optional: Chill in fridge before serving or add in 1/2c ice when mixing all of the ingredients and serve immediately)

The great thing about smoothies is it gets rid of fruit you need to use before it goes bad and you can use whatever you have laying around in the fridge!

Now go on and create your own smoothies!! Come back and tell me what you added in!

I LOVE smoothies! Your recipe is pretty much spot-on with the one I use…
One thing I like to do with my smoothies is freeze the fruit- even the bananas. That way, I don’t have to add ice. I like the fact that when it starts to melt (if it lasts that long!), it just turns into extra-thick fruit juice, instead of getting watered-down with the melting ice…
Another personal preference– I use orange juice instead of milk.. that way there’s not too much of a “dairy” taste/feel…

Marissa I love that you use OJ!! What a great alternative! I will definitely have to give that a try! …and freezing the fruit first! Thanks so much for sharing with me! 🙂
