Creamy Green Smoothie for Toddlers
A creamy, naturally sweet green smoothie packed with banana, spinach, yogurt, and almond butter—an easy, nourishing snack for toddlers.
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe banana frozen is best!
- 1 big handful fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 avocado optional, for extra creaminess
- 1-2 tbsp almond butter
- 3/4 to 1 cup milk as needed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- for a sweeter smoothie add one pitted medjool date or a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Add the milk, Greek yogurt, and spinach to your blender first.
- Then add the banana, avocado (if using), almond butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the spinach is completely pulverized and the smoothie is creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie feels too thick for a straw (especially with the added avocado), add the remaining milk a splash at a time and pulse until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour into a toddler-friendly straw cup and enjoy immediately.
