In Australia, only 5 out of every 100 kids are eating the recommended 5 serves of vegetables a day. Rather than try to get all 5 serves on our dinner plates, I’ve made it a way of life to get some vegetables into our kids day before school, then in their lunchbox. A Green Smoothie is a great way to boost the veggie intake.<\/p>\n

I tend to give my kids a smoothie everyday before school. It’s a great way of filling them up and getting some extra veg into them before school. So our mornings look like this – they have their first breakfast at around 6.45am (this is usually one of these – overnight oats, eggs, sourdough with homemade baked beans, banana pancakes, homemade banana bread with yoghurt etc), then about 7.30am, they have a smoothie. This One Cup of Greens In A Drink Before School<\/strong> is their current favourite.<\/p>\n

You can’t even taste the greens in this because of the fruit, yoghurt and milk. This Green Smoothie means the kids have essentially had a piece of fruit before going to school too, I only need to pack one piece of fruit in their lunchbox to ensure they are getting their 2 serves of fruit a day.<\/p>\n
