Fresh Fruit | Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Soy-free, Egg-free, Nut-Free, VeganThis easy smoothie recipe for kids is always a hit, made with a healthy combination of strawberries, mango, cherries, and spinach.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups water
- .5 cups orange juice
- 4 Medjool dates (pits removed)
- 1 cup Mango frozen chunks
- 1 cup strawberry frozen
- 1 cup sweet cherries pits removed, frozen
- 2 cups spinach fresh
- 1/4 avocado
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the water, orange juice, dates, mango, strawberries, cherries, spinach, and avocado. Blend until very smooth, adding more water if needed to help facilitate blending.
- When there are no longer any chunks of fruit or spinach visible, serve right away.
Notes
- Tip: Leftover smoothie makes AMAZING popsicles. Simply pour the leftover smoothie into a popsicle mold (we love this mini mold for both of my young kids) and then freeze until firm. It's a great way to get even more nutrition in your child's day!
