A perfect Summer smoothie recipe for your Sage Squeezie! Rather than buying yogurt with the fruit already mixed in, buy plain or vanilla yogurt and blend in fresh fruit puree.

By making your own fruity yogurt blend, your kids get all the nutritional benefits of the raw fruit. Plus, it tastes so much better.

I am currently obsessed with green smoothies. The fact that the spinach can’t be tasted in this mango spinach smoothie recipe makes this the most fabulous way to get your kids to eat their veggies without even realizing it. The best part is that the spinach is raw so your family is getting the full health benefits it has to offer. Not only is this Mango Spinach smoothie packed with nutrients and antioxidants, it is delicious and refreshing. Such a great go-to meal or snack.

Mango is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, copper and potassium. It is also full of fiber and can be helpful when your baby is constipated. Spinach is an excellent source of folate, iron, vitamin K, vitamin A and disease-fighting antioxidants. It has more iron than most greens and is rich inlutein which is great for your baby’s eyesight. Conventionally grown spinach is fairly high in nitrates, buy organic whenever possible.

Suitable for babies 10 months and up, toddlers, big kids and adults.
