KID FREINDLY SUMMER RECEIPES WITH LINKY


Welcome to the 1st of our Fun in the Summer Fun event! Each Monday until September 7th Mama to 4 Blessings along with Adventures of Mommydom, Sweet Diva, Harvest Moon By Hand, and Sweet Phenomena will be hosting Fun in the Summer Fun link up events.

Here's the line up:
The 1st Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer activities"
The 2nd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer crafts"
The 3rd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer receipes"
The 4th Monday of each month: link up your "How to stay cool in the summer heat"

Here's our "Kid friendly Summer Receipe"

A few months back we purchased the VitaMix from Costco. We love it in our home. There is nothing like a refreshing smoothie after coming in from the heat. Here is one I threw together. (You can use a regular blender but you would need to let it run for quite a bit to get everything ground up.)

1 whole orange
handful of frozen strawberries
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
1 banana
handful of blueberries
1 1/2 cups of ice cubes
1 1/2 cups of water
(this is enough for 3 of my kids, my husband & myself)



The best part is that they have NO clue they are drinking spinach!

What is your Kid Friendly Summer Receipe? Please share it and link up below!

  1. I'll need to try that recipe. I've had a Vita-Mix mixer for at least 15 years. Great investment! Making smoothies is one of best ways to use it.

  2. We love smoothies & usually make them several times a week! So refreshing!
    Happy Fun in the Sun Monday! =)

  3. Well, that answers my question if they know they're eating spinach. I need to try this on my kids again.

  5. I make green smoothies all the time! The spinach is surprisingly sweet when paired with blueberries. :) Visiting from the Hop. Happy Wednesday! :)
