anyone make smoothies for LO?

I love making smoothies in the summer and was thinking I could maybe slip in some milk into a smoothie for DD (since she refuses to drink any).

I'm assuming it just needs to be thinned down more, any other smoothie tips or recipies for LO?

We use frozen fruit so that we use less ice and it is still cold.  I put yogurt and milk in most the ones I make. 

Mixed berry and peach/mango/banana are favorites. Also anything with strawberries.

When DD was younger, we'd put a yobaby yogurt with 2-3 oz of milk.  She had one every morning for breakfast and loved them.

We do a baby yogurt + a little milk and frozen fruit. Will eats them up, until he gets brain freeze!

He does best with them if I suck some into a straw and let him suck it out the other end - gross and inefficient, but he loves it!

Smoothies are dds favorite breakfast treat! I use YoBaby Yogurt, milk, and fresh (usually organic) fruit.

I make them all the time.  I use the big tun of whole milk plain yogurt (forget the brand) but way cheaper than yo-baby.  I do 1/2C yogurt, 1/4C oj and then fruit.  Guess you could do milk instead of the oj though.  I sometimes use frozen fruit but also use fresh and don't even pput ice in and they are still good and she still loves them.  I drink them too.

I've done this since she's one... can't. stop. wish. I. could.

I save all her half eaten nanas, mushy grapes, apples, etc in a baggie in the freezer. Every two weeks I throw those in with some frozen berries, a big tub of yogurt, some water (suppose you could do milk or juice) , blend with a stick wand thing, and save half that puree back in the yogurt tub for 2 weeks later.  Then I take the remaining puree, put in flax seed oil and her polyvisol, and mix. I reuse some "Boost!" plastic bottles and fill those up for the week. I generally get about 8-10 each batch.

I make smoothies for DS with milk, plain yogurt, banana, and frozen berries.  I serve them in a sippy with a straw and he LOVES them.
