Method

Berry Banana Smoothie

Blend the base

Add 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 ripe banana (broken into chunks), 1 cup yogurt and 1 cup milk to a blender.

Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds if using.

Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 45–60 seconds. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk and pulse to combine.

Pour into a kid-sized cup and serve with a reusable straw. Keeps best immediately; can be chilled up to 2 hours in the fridge.

Creamy Chocolate Banana Shake

Combine ingredients

In a blender add 1 ripe banana, 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or 2 tablespoons cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon sweetener).

If using, add 1 scoop vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess and 1 teaspoon peanut butter for flavor (omit for nut-free).

Add 4 ice cubes if not using ice cream. Blend until smooth, about 30–45 seconds.

Taste and adjust sweetness. Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.

Fizzy Citrus Cooler (Kids Safe Soda)

Mix juices and sweetener

In a pitcher or shaker combine 1 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon simple syrup. Stir to dissolve.

Fill a serving glass with 4 ice cubes, pour the juice mixture over the ice about halfway.

Top gently with 1 cup club soda or sparkling water. Stir lightly once to combine so it stays fizzy.

Garnish with 2 mint leaves if desired and serve with a fun straw.

Vanilla Strawberry Milk

Macerate strawberries

Place 1 cup hulled, sliced strawberries in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional). Let sit 5–10 minutes so strawberries release juices.

In a blender or using an immersion blender, puree the macerated strawberries until smooth (leave some small bits for texture if desired).

Add 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the strawberry purée. Add 3 ice cubes if you want it chilled and slightly frothy.

Blend briefly until combined, about 10–15 seconds, then pour into a glass and serve immediately.
