Back to School Smoothies

These frozen smoothies are the perfect treat for your back-to-schooler.   They are loaded with healthy ingredients but are super tasty so they'll never know!


Take to School Kale Smoothie

Toss into the blender:

1 banana
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup yogurt
3/4 cup almond milk
bunch of kale (this is your preference, start small at first)

Blend for at least 5 minutes.  It may seem like a long time but unless you have a Vitamix, then your standard blender may need a little more time beating some air into this smoothie. 

Portion into 8oz. Ball Freezer containers.  Freeze for at least 4 hours.

Put these little treats in your kiddo's lunch box in the morning with a spoon and by lunchtime they will have thawed into a delicious smoothie!  (I usually pack my son's lunch around 8am and by 11am it is good to go!)

My kids never even know it's in there! I got the containers at Walmart with all of the canning stuff. In my store it's with the appliances. (Ball Freezer Containers) Thanks for visiting!
