Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness, if age-appropriate)
Instructions
Peel the banana and break it into large chunks.
Rinse the baby spinach under cold water and gently pat dry.
Add the banana, spinach, frozen mango chunks, almond milk, yogurt, and chia seeds to a blender.
If a little extra sweetness is desired and your toddler is over age 1, add the optional honey.
Blend the ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Check the consistency. If the smoothie seems too thick, add a small splash of almond milk and blend again to adjust as needed.
Pour the smoothie into a toddler-friendly cup or glass with a secure lid and straw, and serve immediately.
