Mix your own smoothies for children
Your kids don't want to eat green vegetables at all? The apple slices have become too boring too? How about a colorful smoothie? Best served with a glass straw to increase the fun factor! You can then put all the vitamin and mineral-rich ingredients in the children's smoothie that your children would otherwise not find so tasty. From baby spinach to carrots to pumpkin - with the right feeling for quantities and different ingredients, your children will not even know exactly what is hidden in their smoothie. So let's start with all the benefits that a homemade children's smoothie brings with it:
- Lamb's lettuce
- Cucumber
- Carrots
- Pumpkin
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Baby spinach
- Parsnip
- Beetroot
- Zucchini
Suitable dried fruits, seeds, nuts and liquids for a children's smoothie:
- Dried plums (have a slight laxative effect)
- Dried apricots
- Pitted dates
- Goji berries
- Chia seeds
- Linseed
- Oatmeal
- Almonds
- Brazil nuts
- Cashews
- Coconut water

Healthy children's smoothie recipes from Vegane Familien
The wonderful Carmen Hercegfi from Vegane Familien shared delicious children's smoothie recipes with us! She is an expert on everything to do with balanced and vegan nutrition for children. Make sure to check out their website and get inspired! But first we want to introduce you to the delicious children's smoothies. Everything we need to conjure up healthy and delicious children's smoothies: a high-performance mixer that transforms the recipes into a creamy and seed-free consistency. Before putting the ingredients in the blender, wash everything well. The peel and kernels of apples and pears can be packed in the blender, because many important nutrients are also hidden here. Anyone who uses seeds should make sure that their child drinks enough after the smoothie because seeds soak up liquid.
