The first recipe is oh so simple but it packs a powerful nutritional punch. It’s a pineapple and coconut smoothie that is simply delicious. The recipe uses cashew nut butter but if you’re like me and allergic to cashew nuts you can substitute out the cashew nut butter for an almond, hazelnut or regular peanut butter. Make sure you stick with a no added sugar nut butter as they are much healthier than the sugar filled nut butters available. Your nearest supermarket or grocery store should stock a no added sugar variety but if they don’t you will be able to get them in your nearest health food store.

As you can see it’s a simple healthy smoothie recipe for kids but one they’ll love. The next recipe is a secret one. It’s a secret because it’s a clever way of getting your kids to eat more green vegetables without them actually knowing. This smoothie recipe contains spinach but the flavors of the berries and coconut milk mask the taste of the spinach so your kids won’t realize it’s in it at all.
Now I’d prefer to let them know it is in the smoothie and educate them on the importance of including lots of healthy green vegetables in our diets. On the other hand if you do have a particularly difficult time of getting your kids to eat green vegetables then this secret healthy recipe for kids is perfect.
