Strawberry Banana Blueberry Protein Shake - Kid Friendly

October 14, 2017 by Ashley Thurn in Healthy Kid Eats, Drinks, Breakfast

It doesn't get much better than a strawberry banana blueberrie smoothie does it?  I'm pretty sure everyone needs a basic go-to berry smoothie in their life. 

This might be one of my kids' favorites.  My three year old usually screams "yay the purple!!" when he sees this guy coming at him.  

Since it's technically a protein shake it can count as a whole meal too! Perfect for breakfast before school or snack on the go.  

Frozen berries are seriously my jam.  I love when I am out of fruit and veggies by the end of the week but remember about my frozen berry stash to add a bit of color (and enzymes) to the meal.  

Do I need to fill you in on the health benefits of blueberries? They are potent in the antioxidant department and they are a powerful food for supporting brain neuron health.  See my previous post entitled  8 Zero-Prep Snacks That Will Give Your Child the Nutritional Fuel They Deserve to learn more about the superpowers of blueberries.  

Bottom line, you need more frozen berries in your life.   

Okay here it is guys, enjoy!
