Best Kids Smoothie Recipe
This is our favorite Kids Smoothie Recipe that kids love and will drink it up! This smoothie is a great way to add greens into children’s diets. I make this smoothie a few times a week to add more greens to their diet as an after-dinner treat. I make a lot and when we have extras I make smoothie pops from molds like these. Smoothie pops make a great treat when the kids are sick or when I want to entice them to get in the bath. They always run to the bath for smoothie pops!

BEST KIDS SMOOTHIE RECIPE
Confession: I don’t measure. I just add ingredients and then blend and taste! My kids love this recipe.
- MY HOMEMADE JUICE (FIND IT HERE)The base of this recipe is my homemade juice.
2 cups or so to start.
Find out more here. - HIGH QUALITY, ORGANIC, FULL FAT GREEK YOGURT We are now dairy free, gluten free and sugar free so we are using a cashew version that is GREAT!
We use at least a cup of “yogurt.” I use Instacart for my groceries to save time and money! - FROZEN ORGANIC BERRIES About 2 cups.
I get these at Costco using Instacart! I spend less at Costco using Instacart (even with the fee) and not going in for impulse purchases! - NUTIVA ORGANIC PROTEIN POWDER (FIND IT HERE)2 scoops.
- ORGANIC RAW SPINACH
I fill the rest with as much spinach as I can get away with and they will still drink it!
I get spinach a few times a week either at my local grocery store or Costco using Instacart! - COLLAGEN (ONLY THIS BRAND) I only use this brand for the health benefits. I add a couple scoops!
- FLAXSEED OIL OR WHOLE ORGANIC FLAXSEEDS
I use this Flaxseed Oil or these Whole Organic Seeds.
(Ground Flaxseeds are already going rancid so buy whole and keep in the fridge or freezer!)
- If it’s too thick, I add juice until it’s just right.
- If it’s too thin, I add a handful of berries.
