"Trick the Kids" Vegetable Smoothie
*Makes 5 Cups
- 1 So Delicious Coconut Yogurt (any flavor)
- 4 ounces So Delicious Coconut Milk
- 4 ounces sweet potato (cooked & pureed)
- small handful of baby spinach or kale (raw)
- 5 baby carrots (raw)
- half of a small zucchini (raw)
- 1.5 cups juice (I prefer the juice that is a fruit/veggie blend)
- 2 cups frozen fruit (I use a packaged mix of strawberries, mango, pineapple, and peaches)
- 1 Tablespoon wheat germ, flax seed, chia seed, or hemp seed (for an extra nutritional boost!)
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in the blender (put the liquids and soft veggies in first for easier blending).
Tips:
*For sweet potatoes, steam an entire sweet potato, puree with a little bit of water and then freeze in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, remove and store in a freezer bag. Pull out a couple cubes at a time for smoothies (thaw in the microwave first for easier blending). This works with nearly any vegetable!
*Store in a Thermos and it can be enjoyed all day long.
