Looking for a healthy AND filling SNaCK for you and your youngins? Then try a smoothie. All you need is lots of fresh fruit (the riper the better), yoghurt (the nasty kind with all the live bacteria in it), and a few minutes. Oh yeah, I’d also invest in one of those handheld/immersion mixers; they’re perfect for this type of quick and easy recipe. I don’t mean to be gettin’off the subject, but my staafmixer (in Dutch) has changed my life! This little thing is lightweight, compact, and can go in the dishwasher. Not only does it make a mean smoothie, but, as an alternative to jars, it’s perfect for purée-ing stuff when your baby’s ready for table food. It’s ideal even for the busiest working mom.
Back to the smoothie: try any combination of fruit that seems tasty to you. I tend to use lots of strawberries because C- is pretty partial to pink. In this one I added blue berries, a banana, and a bit of flaxseed, which just goes to show that a snack can be good and good for you.
