Kids Berry Probiotic Protein Shake


My kids love smoothies! We incorporate smoothies frequently into our breakfast routine - even more so durning the winter months (extra probiotics are helpful in keeping you healthy). Here is a recipe for our favorite kids shake, yummy enough for adults!

1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries (Organic - Cascadian Farm)
1 Cup Frozen Strawberries (Organic - Cascadian Farm)
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt (Fresh made a few days ago)
1/2 Cup Milk (Organic - Whole) (Make substitutions as needed)
2 Tablespoons Organic Vanilla Pedia Smart (We love this it can be found at Whole Foods, and Amazon.com - many other places as well. It has 20 vitamins and minerals, 7 grams of protein and organix simple and complex carbohydrates)
1/2 teaspoon Kids Raw Probiotics - Garden of Life (great for healthy digestion, and supports immune health - plus this product delivers 23 raw fruits and vegetables!)

All Items in a mixer, mix and serve! Add more milk if too thick.
Makes about 2 cups - my 4 year old had 1 1/2 cups and my 2 year old 1/2 cup (she doesn't drink as fast)

Enjoy and be healthy!
