Kid-Friendly Smoothie with Spinach
This recipe is on the top of our list and our most loved kid-friendly smoothie with spinach. We have a great way to hide the spinach taste, so kids enjoy this healthy meal very often.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 oz Milk – the amount depends on the consistency you want. We put 10oz / 3 dcl for 2 kids. You can use coconut water or almond milk if you prefer
- 5 5 – 7 frozen spinach cubes
- 1 banana
- 1 Tbl spoon of honey no sugar needed
- 3 plain tea biscuits just to mask the taste for our picky eaters. You can leave it out if you prefer. My girls love it like this and I don't mind a cookie or two if they drink up all of this great nutrition along with it.
- 4 Add 3 - 4 nuts like hazel almonds, and walnuts.
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together for 30 seconds. Wait for a couple of seconds, and if you want it mixed better, blend for another 30 seconds.
- That's it, your kid-friendly smoothie with spinach is ready! Drink right away. The longer it sits it's going to spoil the taste.
- So simple!
First of all, you could let the spinach defrost a bit. Maybe for 15 - 20 minutes. It's not necessary though.

Notes
Tips and Variations
- Use any milk you prefer. It will still be amazing
- You can skip the tea biscuits, but for picky eaters this is the key step. At least with my kids.
- Add a tbsp of chia seed for more nutrition if you have some at home
- You can leave all ingredients out for 20ish minutes so spinach defrosts a bit
Storage
This smoothie is simply the best when you have it right away. Or maybe wait 20 minutes so it is not that cold. The more it stays out, the more bitter it gets. If you must store it, try in an airtight container in the fridge, but no longer than one day. I wouldn't recommend freezing either. Make it and have it fresh!!Nutrition
