A homemade fruit smoothie is a cool way to give your kids a healthful energy boost on a hot summer day--or anytime!
1 cup orange juice
4 tbsp. powdered milk
8 oz. non-fat vanilla yogurt
1 ripe banana
Fresh fruit for garnish (orange slices, strawberries, or a cherry)
Step 1
Help your child measure the ingredients and add them to a blender. Kids can slice the banana with a plastic knife and sprinkle the banana pieces on last.
Step 2
Blend just until smooth and creamy. Give the smoothie a stir with a spoon to see if it is the right consistency for pouring and, if needed, thin with a bit more orange juice.
Step 3
Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of fresh fruit.
