Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ready In: 5 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 banana
  • 1 teaspoon pure organic vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon organic raw honey (do not feed honey to babies less than a year old)

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Note: Spinach is a vitamin powerhouse and has a mild taste that mixes well with other flavors. With this smoothie, kids get all the benefits of spinach, plus a giant dose of vitamin A from the carrots. Our bodies use vitamin A to build and maintain healthy tissue for eyes and skin, making it an important nutrient for growing kids and adults alike.
