Let’s be honest, summer with kids can feel a little… nutty.
School is out, the dishes multiply on their own, and “I’m hungry!” starts before you’ve had your first cup of coffee. Between being the activities coordinator, camp counselor, referee, chauffeur, chef, and snack provider, finding healthy options that are quick, easy, and kid-approved? That’s practically a full-time job.
Good news: we’ve got you covered with our favorite healthy smoothie recipes for kids, made even easier with Naked PB, the one-ingredient peanut butter powder we’ve been adding to everything in our kitchen this summer.
