Need a way to get vegetables down your kids? Make them a Blueberry Flax Shake. I’ve been making it every morning for a healthy way to jumpstart my day, and my kids beg for their own cup (straw included). My sister Marleen made up this recipe, and it’s so good and healthy and filling. And I promise–your kids won’t know that there are vegetables mixed in. Below is the recipe. Check out Simply Healthful for more healthy recipes.
Blueberry Flax Shake
1 10 oz bag of frozen blueberries (or mixed berries)
Juice of one half lemon
1 handful of spinach
4 inches of cucumber, cut in chunks
half of one avocado
1-2 cups of water (or coconut water or almond milk (for creamy texture))
2 tablespoons of honey (or agave syrup)
1 tablespoon of grounded flax seed
Ice
Blend all ingredients together until desired consistency.
