Babiekins Magazine | Kale Apple Smoothie

“St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time, a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.”
Adrienne Cook

I don’t know about you, but we sure are ready for some of that summer magic! I wanted to create so many yummy treats for this St. Patrick’s Day, but as we all know, life gets busy and the daily grind tends to get in the way. It’s a good thing a little luck was on my side and my oldest son happened to create these healthy, colorful treats to help celebrate this festive day. Not only are they the perfect color, but they are packed full of nutrients and essential vitamins. Oh, and did I mentioned they are kid approved!

Kale Apple Smoothie (yield: 1-2 servings)

INGREDIENTS:
1 green apple, peeled and cored
1/4 cup kale
1/2 cup plain yogurt (we use homemade yogurt)
1 banana
1/2 cup apple juice, plus more for desired consistency

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
2. Blend until fully combined and smooth.
3. Pour and enjoy!

We all love a good smoothie, but let’s admit it, sometimes we get carried away with adding too much fruit and juice and not enough other goodies. Our family has been making smoothies for years and we have finally created a few recipes that are a win-win when it comes to balancing taste and healthy ingredients. Today, I’m sharing my personal favorite. I originally created this combination of ingredients for my son, who was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, but found that it’s a perfect fit for all of our palates.

** When adding supplements into your diet it is very important to speak to your physician or pediatrician about those supplements and the correct doses. Probiotics and L-Glutamine are great supplements, but please consult your physician before using.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
