Kids love smoothies, and they’re an easy way to sneak in fruit, vegetables and protein. These are our most kid-approved recipes.

The full list

Tips for picky eaters

  • Let kids pick the fruit and push the button.
  • Use colorful cups and straws.
  • Hide greens in purple or chocolate smoothies: blueberries and cocoa disguise spinach.
  • Freeze leftovers as ice pops.
  • Skip juice and syrups; ripe fruit is sweet enough.

Nutrition is calculated from USDA FoodData Central values for the exact amounts in each recipe. See how we test.
