Kid-Friendly Smoothie Treats

There are so many things to like about smoothies! They are delicious, most are good for you, they cool you down and kids love them. Smoothies are a good source of fiber and a way to get fruits and vegetables in your body. There are many variations of smoothies to enjoy, but here are a few that are tasty and sweet.

Peachy Smoothie

• 1 cup sliced peaches
• 4 cubes ice

In a blender, combine the peaches, ice, nutmeg, vanilla extract, honey, wheat germ, oats and soy milk. Cover and combine until smooth and pour in glasses.

The next smoothie is called Bodyfuel and it is my favorite. Plus, it is simple to create.
