Kid-Friendly Recipes: Sunrise Smoothie

A sweet way to make sure picky eaters get the nutrients they need.

Sunrise Smoothie
1st layer Ingredients:
1 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup canned peach slices, drained, frozen
1/2 banana
1/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar, optional – more or less to taste

2nd layer Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen raspberries or strawberries
1/2 banana
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar, optional – more or less to taste

For each layer, combine ingredients and blend until smooth; pour 1st layer into 3 tall glasses; pour approximately 1/3 of second layer on top 1st layer and gently stir to create streaks and waves as the two layers partially mix. Add remaining smoothie to the top. Add straw and garnish with orange slice or fresh strawberry.

Notes:
Attractive, nutritious, appealing for kids and adults; provides a full serving of dairy and one cup of fruit. Pair it with a nutritious “Loaded Muffin” for fiber and grain to make complete grab-and-go breakfast. Sweetening by sugar is optional and has not been included in nutrient analysis. Makes 3 smoothies
