Fruit and veggie smoothies great for kids!

Smoothies are a great way to get your kids to eat enough fruits and veggies.

Charlotte mom Kara Cozier of Navmak Enterprises, LLC has two toddlers who regularly enjoy the smoothies that she has perfected after some trial and error.

The key is to incorporate a good balance of frozen berries, veggies like carrots, avocado or spinach, a liquid like juice and/or milk or non-dairy substitute, and then add in other healthy ingredients such as banana, or any other fruit, yogurt, flaxseed, and even immunity boosters or other needed remedies.

A good blender is the final ingredient.

Check out Kara's blog for some great smoothie recipes like this one:

bananas (fresh or sometimes I have some that I froze)

mixed frozen fruit blend (peaches, assorted berries, melons)

carrot, blueberry, and pomegranate juice

soy milk

spinach

ground flax seed
