Healthy Eating For Kids: Fruit Smoothies

Written by Lisa on Saturday 15 April 2006

Fruit smoothies are a superb way of getting  kids to eat their recommended daily amount of fruit. Not only that, they are quick and easy to make, a must for someone as rubbish as me in the kitchen.

Here's what we use:

1 banana
1 pear or apple
1 kiwi
1 handful of berries (fresh or frozen)
Some milk or yoghurt

Throw it all in a blender and blitz........Voila!

We aren't always as precise as the recipe above, very often we just throw in whatever is in the fruit bowl and add enough youghurt until it reaches the desired consistency. There is definately no 'right way' to make this treat.
