My kids just love smoothies. I am not sure if it’s because my husband and I always seem to be having one or something similar, or what it is? But the main reason that I love smoothies is that it can be different every. single. time. I love variety in my food and I love quick and easy. Boom! That’s what smoothies are.
The book, 201 Healthy Smoothies and Juices for Kids is a WONDERFUL collection of just what my family loves. Yes, it says it’s for kids, however we make them “family size” 🙂 And NO sugar. A major bonus that so many should really look in to more. Not only is this book filled with recipes, but there are so many tips too!
More than 200 delicious alternatives to sugary drinks!
Children six months and older can drink half of their daily serving of fruit through 100 percent juice (American Academy of Pediatrics). Enter the kid-approved, family-friendly smoothie and juice book of the year: 201 Healthy Smoothies and Juices for Kids: Fresh, Wholesome, No-Sugar-Added Drinks Your Child Will Love…
Why would parents give their children generic, sugar-filled juice from concentrate when they can give them a glass of Blackberry Banana Blast, Pineapple Tangerine Twister, or Green Veggie Goodness? When study after study shows that store-bought juices can be more trouble than they’re worth, it’s time parents turned to their own kitchens to find sources for the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients growing kids need. With this book, parents will introduce their children to the wonderful flavors of fruits and vegetables with every delightful glass—and the kids will be begging for more!
In 201 Healthy Juices and Smoothies for Kids, readers find all the essential recipes they’ll need to replace boring, sugary, one-fruit bottled juice with delicious, nourishing combinations that will:
• Boost children’s immune system
• Balance natural sugars with essential vitamins and nutrients
• Sneak in extra servings of fruits and vegetables even the pickiest eaters won’t pick up on
• Replace soda and pricey store-bought drinks—for good!
