Let me be honest here. My children are not the healthiest of eaters. My daughter tends to eat some veggies and fruit but my son, my son is an avid eater of junk. He wants nothing but toast, pizza, burgers, fries, sandwiches and basically any kind of sweet you’ll throw his way. I’ve given up on making separate dinners for them (most of the time) so sometimes they hardly eat, enter Mom Guilt. This led me to try to make a smoothie that my son would actually finish but that still had some health benefits. And since he seems to have some tummy issues, due to the fact that he doesn’t eat much in the way of fresh fruit and veg, I included some really awesome probiotics from Klaire Labs.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup ice
- 1 very ripe banana (the ripeness of the banana will either hinder or help digestion. Very ripe ones will actually aid in healthy digestion)
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free oat flour
- 3 tablespoons almond butter (you can replace with sunbutter, peanut butter or cashew butter)
- 2 teaspoons ground flax seed
- 1 tablespoon organic chocolate syrup (Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are my favorite)
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 Klaire Lab probiotic pill or your favorite encapsulated probiotic (some, including Klaire Labs also sell a powder form but I take these as well so I opt for the pill form) opened with contents added to blender
Directions:
Add all ingredients to your Vitamix or blender of choice and blend on high. Add to glass and thats it! Or you can add little syrup along the rim as shown, adds a wow factor for the kiddos.
