Favorite Smoothies and Veggie or Bean Soups for Kids

[umsami]

So, I've decided that I'm going to try and incorporate more smoothies into the kids' breakfasts and veggie or bean soups as part of our dinner this winter.  Somehow, we've gone away from eating a ton of fruits and veggies, to not much...and this is an easy way to get some into the kids, including the picky eaters.

 

 

So, what are your favorites?  Our typical smoothies are orange juice + frozen fruit (usually berries) + yogurt.  We also make "banana milk" with frozen bananas and either dairy/coconut/almond milk + vanilla.

 

 

Our favorite veggie/bean soup is a middle eastern red lentil.

My favorite smoothies are:

 

Strawberry, banana, OJ, yogurt, spinach

 

And

 

Banana, oat flour, almond butter, cinnamon, honey, yogurt

 

I just toss rolled oats in the blender to make the flour then use about 1/4 cup per smoothie.
