Yummy Fruit/Veggie Smoothie Recipes?
Hi, please don't move this to the food/recipe board! I'm afraid I'll get diet & fitness smoothie ideas.
I'm looking to add more veggies to my almost-3-year-old DD's diet. She doesn't love her veggies (and it doesn't help that I'm an awful cook and I can't seem to make them in a appetizing way for her). Can you recommend a simple fruit/veggie smoothie that your LO likes? Thanks

Yummy Fruit/Veggie Smoothie Recipes?
Here's what I do and DD and I both love it. I add some coconut or almond milk (she has an allergy but you could add whatever), sometimes a little water, then add frozen fruit. I always add some sort of berries since they mask the veggies well but just a mix of whatever I find in the store on sale. Puree that until smooth. Then I add a container of greek yogurt, spinach, chia seeds, and sometimes banana. I use fresh baby spinach if I have it but I also fill a big ziploc bag full and keep that in the freezer so I always have some on hand. I've also added shredded carrot if I have it.

Strawberries or other berries... then throw spinach in too. Add banana or mango or pineapple.

Re: Yummy Fruit/Veggie Smoothie Recipes?
I don't have any real recipes, but basically I add about a cup of spinach or kale per serving to whatever I'm making. DD loves 5 strawberries, 1 peach and about 1/2cup greek yogurt, and I'll through in either spinach or kale - 2 cups, and some ice. Pretty sure that makes at least 3 servings
