Do you enjoy making smoothies for your family, packed with lovely greens and yummy fruits? Only to find that your kids refuse to drink them! That’s what l found anyway. My eldest doesn’t like the taste (I’m sure its because she knows there are greens in it!). For me, l like to pack my smoothies with as many nutrients as l can, making sure l maintain the fibre content by including pumpkin seeds. Now l have to ground them and hide in her breakfast!
Recently my daughter asked if she could make her own kids smoothie with only fruit. Of course l said… as long as you write down the recipe. After seeing her excitement, l saw a learning opportunity. As a home educating family, we are always looking for ways to include writing practice in a fun way (where she actually wants to do it!). She was very happy with the outcome and asked if she could put the recipe on the computer like l do.
So here goes – this is my daughters recipe, and some words from her.
“I made this smoothie because mummy had a one in a café that l couldn’t taste because of my nut allergy. It didn’t have nuts in it but other smoothies did, that were made in same blender. It was a fruit smoothie, and l wanted to make my own recipe to try at home”
