Meal Replacer Smoothies for Kids

Once a week for breakfast, usually on grocery shopping day (Wednesday), I serve smoothies for breakfast - they drink them quickly, I can serve them to my baby and there are very few leftovers!

Here are my top three recipes:

Chocolate Banana Swirl
2 Frozen Bananas
2 Cups Whole Milk (or Milk Substitute)
2 tablespoons of peanut (or almond) butter
(optional) 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder

Blend until smooth.  Makes four 8 oz servings

Berry Surprise
2 frozen bananas
2 cups whole milk (or milk substitute)
1 cup berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries - frozen or not)
1/2 an avocado (This is the surprise portion! Shh! I don't tell them about this part)

Blend until smooth. Makes four 8 oz servings


Sweet Potato Smoothie
1 large sweet potato baked, peeled and mashed
2 frozen bananas
2 cups of whole milk (or milk substitute)
2 tsp cinnamon

Blend until smooth. Makes four 8 oz

Homeschool Meal Plan - Veggie Edition

One of the hardest things I do every day is feed my family.A few months ago we also cut meat from our diet (except fish), so it went from challenging to impossible.  Mine super simple menu has kept me sane and motivated for months and is structured enough that I don't have to come up with an idea sfrom scratch, but it's flexible enough that I can mix and match ingredients or recipes based on my pantry's supply.

Here's my plan, what's your's?
