My toddlers LOVE green smoothies. We have them 2-3x week for snack. I have a couple recipes but the one below is the one most often made.

2 cups filtered cold water
1/2 cup any kind of milk (I use soy. I have one who has a milk allergy)
1 cup straw or blueberries, cold or frozen
1 ripe banana
2 handfuls spinach
1 huge kale leaf
few drops of Stevia
dash vanilla

This makes about 32 oz. You can use a regular blender for this.

Honestly, I'm surprised they like it! I was prepared to make it sweeter with more fruit or a sweeter fruit, but tried this first and they loved it, so I kept it the same.
You can find LOTS of green smoothie recipes online. My parents love knowing their little one is getting leafy greens and other good food in their smoothies!
