Milkshake Smoothies

Most kids already love fruit smoothies, but you can make them special again by using frozen bananas as a base. Add a hint of vanilla and your favorite fruits and pulse into complete smoothness, adding a few ice cubes if necessary to thicken up the mixture. The smoothie takes on a creamy texture that’s as close as most kids will ever get to having ice cream for breakfast! Be sure to peel the bananas and break them into chunks before freezing.
