Tasty Summer Treat My favorite way to beat the heat is to drink a nice, cold smoothie. Not only are smoothies packed with important vitamins and minerals, they taste great, too! All you need for a smoothie is fresh or frozen fruit, a liquid such as juice or milk, and a blender. For a super-fruity smoothie, I recommend using 100% juice in your smoothie. For a creamier smoothie, you can try using milk, yogurt, tofu, soymilk, almond milk or other types of milk. If you need a little inspiration before making your smoothie, visit one of these recipe sites to get started. Recipes at KidsHealth Sumptuous Smoothies and Shakes Summer Smoothies —Amy |
