Smoothies are a yummy snack that can be a fun experiment by adding different fruits, vegetables, and other items. There is a world of different food available when it comes to what you can put in the blender. Some of the popular favorites are berries, bananas, kale, spinach, yogurt, milk, and flax seeds.
Smoothies are also a good way to get different food groups involved in your diet. MyPlate shows us that we need to eat enough fruit, vegetables, and dairy products every day in order to keep us healthy. Mixing fruits and vegetables with a dairy source like milk when making a smoothie ensures you are able to incorporate these food groups into your diet. The more colorful the variety, the better!
