Ingredients

  • 3-5 handfuls of spinach
  • 1 handful of strawberries
  • 1 handful of blueberries and/or raspberries
  • 1 small banana (and 1/2 large banana)
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 lemon without the rind (adding this source of vitamin C helps our bodies absorb the iron from the spinach, while also adding flavor)
  • 1/4 cup of chia seeds
  • Choice of liquid (some days we love almond milk, or milk & yogurt, or fresh orange juice & water)

Optional:

  • Add small handful of ice
  • 1 tablespoon of almond butter (for added protein & healthy fat)
  • 2-3 scoops Vital Proteins collagen peptides (for parents' smoothie)
  • 1 Brazil nut

Notes

Kid Tip:
Let your child dump the ingredients into the blender and then push the button to blend. You can also have your kids slice the avocado using our favorite kids knife.
For kids 1+, add whole fat milk, whole fat yogurt, or a higher protein and fat plant based milk such as pea protein milk to maximize the protein and fat content. 
Wanting to boost fertility or add more micronutrients? Add one Brazil nut to the smoothie to provide your daily dose of selenium!

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients into the blender and blend until desired consistency!
