Get fruity with our berry tasty smoothie

Our berry tasty smoothie is ideal for growing children and is also good for anyone looking to increase their vitamin intake, with plenty of protein thrown in too.

If you are struggling to get your kids to eat sufficient fruit over the course of the day, this recipe is a quick win. It contains two portions of fruit and one portion of vegetables with the frozen zucchini, so you’ve already got three of their five-a-day sorted!

Grab the ingredients from your regular online groceries shop and you’re good to go.

Berry nutritious!

You can use any combination of berries in our recipe – whatever you have to hand. Why not try:

• Blueberries – high in vitamin K to promote strong bones and antioxidants to keep your kids healthy
• Raspberries – bursting with vitamin C and fibre to keep the digestive system running smoothly
• Strawberries – one handful of this super fruit will provide all the vitamin C your child needs a day

Give me more vitamin C!

Our berry tasty recipe also contains a sneaky handful of zucchini, which will add even more vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals to the mix.

And there’s banana too – high in carbohydrates for energy, fibre for digestion and lots of vitamins and minerals.

Milk: What growing kids need

As long as your child is dairy tolerant, cow’s milk is a great choice for this smoothie. That’s because it has nearly every nutrient the human body needs. It’s high in protein, essential for growing bodies, and is one of the best sources of calcium for healthy bones.

You can also use coconut milk. Its sweet flavour will appeal to kids, and it’s high in fat, which is what developing kids need. Coconut milk also offers plenty of vitamin C and a wide variety of minerals too.

Bring on the protein!

We’ve included whey protein isolate in this recipe. This dietary supplement is good for building lean muscle and so is a suitable protein source for kids.

Enjoy nutritious nuts

Almond or cashew nut butter can be added to this smoothie to give another dimension of taste and to also add some extra nutrition. Both contain high levels of protein, minerals and vitamin E, which is a valuable antioxidant to protect against disease.

Put all of these ingredients together and you have a berry tasty smoothie that both kids and adults will love!
