Want your kiddos to eat more greens but struggling to get them excited about it? Make a “Shrek Smoothie”.  Loaded with immune-boosting whole foods, fiber, omega-3s, hydration and flavour, a green smoothie is a great way to boost daily intake of nourishment for tiny humans.

Mix the following ingredients in a blender and enjoy!

1 heaping cup frozen pineapple chunks

1/2 large frozen banana

1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves (swap in spinach if the parsley taste is too strong for the kiddos)

2 tablespoons avocado

1 teaspoon packed fresh grated ginger

1/4 teaspoon probiotic powder, optional

1 cup water

lemon or lime slice, for garnish
