Blue (Blueberry and Banana Smoothie)

A classic smoothie combo. Sprinkle flax seed on top for even more nutritional benefits.

½ cup ice

Place all of the ingredients in the blender and blend to desired consistency.

The kids enjoyed the smoothies especially making them. I am glad now they have a healthy drink they can make on their own.

My granddaughter loved it. She is not a big breakfeast person and even her mom thought this was a great drink to strart off the day. There are 5 of us in the family and we all enjoyed it. Easy to make and not much to clean up. Sydni learned more about different fruits, when they are in season, and measureing things.

Thanks

This activity was not only fun but nutritious too. We printed out the food pyramid work sheets from (www.my pyramid.gov ) and we marked off how many servings of fruit were in the smoothie.

Even though my daughter is starting first grade she loved creating her own blends. This was very easy for her. She learned how to measure some of the ingredients. I went to dollar tree and brought a set of measuring cups and spoons and a plastic measuring cup so she can start learning how to measure. She is having a lot of fun with this

The children loved making their own smoothie. It was totally hands on and food seems so interesting when they are involved in the whole process.

Now we make all different smoothies almost everyday. We buy fruit when it is cheap and freeze it to use for our smoothies. Our new favorite is Orange juice, with some frozen pineapple and vanilla yogurt and milk!! Yum

We made smoothies with the hamburgers. The only thing is we added a half of banana to make it thicker. Great fun!

My kids LOVE to make smoothies. If there's extra, we pour it into popsicle molds and freeze them to make popsicles.

this was very easy. we used plain yogurt and agave syrup to make it a bit sweeter, and organic fruit. we did this for a neighborhood kids gathering at our house, after swimming. it was very easy to do, and delicious.
