Smoothies are easy to put together. Use whatever fruit you have available and add a little milk, some yogurt and some ice cubes. It really is that simple. You can also add extra flavors like sugar or vanilla. We prefer to leave the sugar out the preschoolers not only for health reasons but we want to appreciate the real flavors of the fruits. What I love about smoothies is that they are great for any time of year, and it's a fun way for the children to get their calcium!

ReplyDeleteTrue, I forgot to mention a lot of the parents just happen to slip in during smoothie day.
