The humble smoothie. These are a staple here in our home, and it’s always fun to introduce the kids to new flavors and super foods via smoothies. I will often make the kids super thick smoothies and call it ice cream. Sometimes we even serve said smoothies in ice cream cones. I share all of that simply to say: have fun with your smoothies. This tasty recipe is one that I made the kids for breakfast. When smoothies are served in the morning, I try to make sure they have greens and/or super foods included. When they’re served in the afternoon I lean towards fruity smoothies, or drinks that include cacao.
