Babies like smoothies too!

Who doesn't like a refreshing smoothie after a hard day of learning to walk?

Baby J loves smoothies and if you ever have one near her, you might as well hand it over!

A smoothie is an easy way to pack in a lot of nutrients for a powerful snack.

In this smoothie, I add organic fruit, spinach, chia seeds and rice milk. 

As a veggie baby, I micro manage her iron, protien and omegas! So with the spinach, chia seeds and rice milk, I can rest easy. 

Here are some trusty ingredients.  Then you add whatever you like.  Just watch how much fruit is added.  Don't want to over load the sugar! I added passion fruit yesterday to her smoothie.  If you have never had a passion fruit, then you need to RUN, not walk, to Whole Foods and get one!


Into the baby bullet......


And into the sippy for optimal drinking by a 10 month old!

Tips for fruit:
** I like to buy organic in-season fruit and cut it up into finger food size and freeze.  That way every morning I have fruit for her to eat with breakfast and to throw into smoothies.  If you can catch it on sale, stock up and freeze!!!
