Tips
Plan ahead so the kids can make these shakes as an after school snack. Buy fresh fruit when it’s in season or on special and freeze it in a single layer on a baking sheet or buy bags of frozen fruit. Divide the frozen fruit into recipe-size portions in freezer bags and store in the freezer ready to grab quickly.
