Kids in the Kitchen: Peach Smoothie

I don’t know why I associate smoothies as kid’s food. I mean last time I did a ‘kids in the kitchen’ series I featured a smoothie and here I go again.

I think maybe it is because they are so easy, so nutritious and so tasty, that how can they NOT be perfect for kids (oh and adults too! Smiley face!)

Not only is this a recipe that kids of all ages will enjoy it is one that kids can help with too. Since ingredients do not have to be exact in a smoothie, this is the perfect recipe for kids to practice measuring ingredients and slicing peaches.

I have shared this before but I will share it again, my tip to the perfect smoothie is to use frozen fruit in lieu of ice to get a perfectly cold smoothie with the best consistency without watering down your drink. Since the frozen peaches may be a little difficult for children to cut, I suggest letting them thaw slightly or you can substitute canned or fresh peaches that have been peeled.

So get blendin’ and make this ‘saweet’ smoothie that screams summer!
