Tip for Kids: Young ones can add the ingredients to the blender with parents’ help and older kids can make them with little supervision.

Healthy Eating Tip: Although these ‘sometimes’ treats don’t all hit the nutritional bulls eye, they provide a surprising array of nutrients. Better still, making these with your kids can lead to better food preparation skills. Research shows that having fun while learning to cook and prepare foods is a first important step to developing strong family food experiences which can provide many long-term health benefits.
