Green smoothie
Description
This is the green smoothie I make almost every day — it's how I sneak veggies into my picky eater without any fuss. It's creamy, a little sweet, and honestly doesn't taste "healthy" at all (in the best way). Takes 5 minutes, and my kids ask for seconds!

Instructions
How to make it
-
Wash everything first
Give your kale, spinach, carrots, and apple a good rinse. Always the first step before we start cooking!
-
Steam the Carrots, Kale & Spinach and cool with a quick rinse
Add 2 tablespoons of water and pop them in the microwave for 1–2 minutes. Steaming (instead of boiling)
You can skip this part but keeps more of the nutrients in, makes them easier for our bodies to absorb, and is gentler on little tummies too. It's a small step that makes a big difference! -
Prep the Apple & Avocado
Cut the apple into chunks and add the avocado. No need to overthink it — just roughly chopped is fine!
-
Blend It All Together with Any milk
Any milk works here! I usually use regular milk since that's what we have at home, but oat milk, almond milk, soy milk — whatever you like or have on hand is totally fine. The taste and texture will change just a little depending on what you use, but it'll still turn out great.
Want it sweeter? Banana, a little honey, or even maple syrup all work great. ⚠️ Just skip honey if your little one is under 12 months. -
Tada! All done
You can use them for cooking, or you can just drink them up!
