Smoothie

Smoothies are a great snack for your kids after sweaty play hours or when it is hot outside. There are many healthy and delicious recipes out there. The most popular option is to mix yogurt or kefir, veggies, fruits, and a source of fats like nut butter, flax, or chia seeds. Consider adding some extra ingredients like iron-fortified oatmeal, oats, and whole grains to provide sufficient nutrients and minerals. Minimize the amount of sugar. Instead, use unsweetened nondairy milk or milk to add more creaminess. In addition to filling your children with nutritious components, smoothies can also keep them hydrated and full of energy. [2]
