Sharing a super simple strawberry banana smoothie recipe with added veggies and protein! Perfect for little ones.
I partnered with Haakaa (!!!) to share this quick and easy smoothie recipe! Yogurt provides protein, hidden veggies from the spinach, and absolutely delicious thanks to the strawberries and bananas. My son LOVED them and I definitely plan to include smoothies in our rotation more often. We used the Haakaa Yummy Pouches for these and they were really easy to fill + clean up afterwards. Loved them!
BABY LED WEANING
This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.
For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!
If you would like to make it a thinner consistency you can add more milk, as well as use the straw that comes with the Yummy Pouch that makes it easier to drink.
ALLERGENS
This recipe has dairy. Feel free to sub in a DF milk + yogurt!
STORAGE
This was a small batch, so I stored the extra pouch in the fridge. If it was a bigger batch I’d freeze and keep in the freezer 2-3 months!
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Haakaa Yummy Pouch – we used this to serve the smoothie. Super easy to fill + clean!
Blender – this is the blender we used, but any works!
