Serving kids a healthy breakfast can be a challenge for any parent. If you're rushing to get out the door, it can be particularly difficult to make sure everyone gets the nutrition they need. Fortunately, we found superfood smoothies kids (and grown-ups) will slurp down in seconds.
Filled with fresh fruit and sneaky spinach and kale, those colorful concoctions come together in seconds. Little ones will get a big kick out of turning on the blender and whipping up this part of the most important meal of the day. Enjoy!
