Need a smoothie recipe with veggies..

Please share! DD refuses to eat any veggies. I heard you can make smoothies with carrots/beans that taste good. Any recipes would be appreciated.

Re: Need a smoothie recipe with veggies..

  • When we make smoothies, I use fruit, yogurt and juice.  You can put half cooked carrots, carrot puree with half strawberries.  Or there are juices that are 1/2 fruit 1/2 veggie.  V8 Fusion and there is a Strawberry Kiwi one in juice boxes walmart sells.

  • We eat a lot of green smoothies. I usually just throw in spinach (fresh or frozen) with any "normal" smoothie. I've also used kale, but the taste is a little more bitter. I would think carrot would be good, but I'm not so sure about the beans. My favorite is: frozen banana, strawberries, yogurt, splash of apple juice, and spinach. Oh, and it really helps if you have a good blender so there aren't chunks of spinach.

  • I bet that sweet potato baby food would work.  Ive put in raw carrots before and it has worked well.

  • We just put spinach in with a normal fruit smoothie - you can put in a TON and you totally can't taste it. My daughter LOVES them and cries when they are done!

  • You can throw carrot in with just about anything and you can't really taste it. I usually use the preshredded carrot for this. I've done it with peaches, mango, and strawberry.

    I've never given this one to my LO, but you could try it:

    2 handfuls of chopped kale or spinach

    1/2 green apple

    1/2 avocado

    a handful of shredded carrot

    juice from 1/2 lime

    water to right consistency and/or coconut water (1-2cups)

    (when I make it for myself I add protein powder, but may not want to for LO)

    If you wanted to make it sweeter for LO, maybe a little honey or vanilla
