Blueberries turn everything purple, so kids never see the spinach, and frozen cauliflower is completely flavorless once blended, adding creaminess and fiber.
Ingredients
You’ll need: Blender
Method
Blend the milk and spinach until no green flecks remain.
Add the yogurt, banana, cauliflower and blueberries.
Blend until completely smooth. Pour into two small cups.
Tips
Serve in a fun cup with a straw, or freeze leftovers into ice pops.

Make it ahead
Pack the solid ingredients (fruit, greens, seeds, oats) into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. In the morning, tip the bag into the blender, add the liquid and yogurt, and blend. A blended smoothie keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. More on smoothie freezer packs.
