Juice/Smoothies – What to Feed the Kids

Sunny Smoothie

I was really pleased with this smoothie, as it’s a vegetable smoothie that still tastes refreshing and sweet – just the thing to have on a summer’s day. The amount of vitamin C and calcium is all the more reason to drink it.

Did you know?

We can’t store vitamin C in our bodies so we need a supply from food daily. Vitamin C is so important for many functions in the body and will help boost your child’s immunity. A daily supply from food is crucial for a child’s development.

Breakfast/ Juice/Smoothies

Berry and Beetroot Juice

Smoothie’s can be very refreshing, especially in the summer when you would rather drink than eat. Be aware of the amount of sugar that can be found in one smoothie – adding water is a good way of cutting this down. But it’s still much better to consume sugar from fruit than from sugary treats that have no nutritional value.
