At the British Early Years Centre, Bangkok we have been designing and making vegetable smoothies and juices with the children for a few years now as part of their healthy eating topic. Here is a great post from Random Recycling with some lovely recipes for smoothies that have a good balance of healthy greens vs sweeter fruits. We like that no additional sugar is added since there is already more than plenty in the fruit.
Mango Monkey
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 cups spinach
1 banana
1 cup frozen mango
Alligator Surprise
1/2 cup water
1/2 a medium avocado scooped out (we make this to use up leftover avocado)
2 cups spinach
2 cups frozen pineapple
Green Queen
1/2 cup of water
2 tablespoons of flaxseeds (or chia seeds)
2 clementines, peeled
1 banana
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
The Blue One
(which really comes out more purple than blue)
1/2 cup water
1 cup yogurt (we use our homemade yogurt)
1 cup spinach
2 cups frozen berries
