Kids’ Greenie Smoothie [vegan] by Green Kitchen Stories

This Kids’ Greenie Smoothie contains both broccoli and peas, yet has a sweet and fruity flavour due to the banana and a kick of freshness from the orange juice and ginger. David Frenkiel & Luise Vindahl created this recipe to be child-friendly, but it is just as good for any adults who want to incorporate more vegetables into their lives.

A trick to get children to eat more vegetables is to add them to smoothies. Blending vegetables with sweeter flavours disguise their taste and makes them more appealing. Frozen vegetables are the best option as they are milder in taste and often actually contain more nutrients than fresh vegetables (because they are frozen directly after being picked). Also, frozen fruits and vegetables are that they are generally cheaper, available all year round and obviously have a much longer shelf life.

Green Kitchen Smoothies is the third book from David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl, the globetrotting couple behind the gorgeous Green Kitchen Stories blog. Luise is a qualified nutritionist with a passion for developing wheat-free and sugar-free recipes and David is the photographer and design-eye behind their work.

Their two previous books, The Green Kitchen and Green Kitchen Travels focused on healthy & simple vegetarian food made with whole grains, good fats, fruits and vegetables. The third instalment of their work, Green Kitchen Smoothies, compiles over 50 ways to create a healthy smoothie. The photography is absolutely amazing and there is something for everyone in the many recipes created by David & Luise.

Besides this Kids’ Greenie Smoothie you will find many other yummy grown-up recipe ideas including a Superberry & Fennel Smoothie, a Mocha Morning Buzz to boost energy levels or a zingy Avocado, Mango and Lime Smoothie and this stunning Kiwi, Kale & Chia Parfait.
