Summer vacation is here so I decided to teach my little girl to cook. We are doing 1 hour of school in the morning to keep up their skills, but I thought that hands on kitchen experience would teach them math skills, science and health AND it's fun!Kenna already has her favorite things to make, so we'll start out with those. This week we will feature some awesome smoothies that are so easy for kids to make. Kenna likes to make these for the neighborhood kids. She is famous for her smoothies and sandwich bread pizzas.
Here is how she makes the smoothies:
Choose your favorite flavor of smoothie:
Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana, Banana Colada, and Peach Mango
The neighbor kids chose mixed berry today.
Pour the mix into the blender.
Add 1/2 container of cold water.
Add 2 containers of ice cubes.
Blend for 1 minute until smooth.
Serve to friends and enjoy! Shhhhhh........Don't tell them that every 8 oz. serving gives them 1 serving of fruit!
Look for more Kid's Corner recipes to come!

ReplyDeleteI just posted a fun idea for cooking with kids this morning on my blog and then found this here. I hope you don't mind that I linked to this post in mine. What a great idea to have them make their own smoothies. I wonder if they sell that mix out here in the East!
