Let’s face it — getting toddlers to eat something green is a full-time job. Whether they’re turning their nose up at broccoli or declaring war on anything “weird,” it’s tough out there for parents trying to sneak in nutrition. But what if snack time could be both fun and secretly good for them?
These 3 smoothie recipes are packed with fruits, veggies, and protein — but your little ones will only taste the deliciousness. No weird textures. No suspicious colors. Just yummy drinks that get a thumbs-up every time.
