For three months straight, my daughter would only eat PB&J’s if they were cut into the shape of a giraffe or an elephant. No other animals would do. My son eats noodles covered in ketchup, and a few nights ago my youngest told me his apple juice was “too wet.” Moral of the story, I know a thing or two about picky eaters. I’m therefore always keeping my eyes peeled for fun new ways of incorporating nutrients into my littles’ diets – particularly the 4 that most kids don’t get enough of: Fiber, Calcium, Vitamin D, and Potassium.

Are you ready for this? I may have found the answer to all our picky eating woes! PediaSure SideKicks Fruit & Veggie Smoothie Mix is my new best friend when it comes to healthy snacking – and the smoothies it makes have already become my kids’ afternoon kryponite. Like magic, the mixes instantly boost the health-o-meter of any smoothie by packing all 4 important nutrients into one small (and delicious) container that can easily be added to any recipe.

What really got me is just how simple the smoothies are to make! My kids turn into busy little bees during the summer, bee-bopping all over the place. I’m sure your crew is no different. That’s why it’s so important that snacks can be eaten on-the-go. Small vitamin-rich smoothies are the perfect way to keep everyone happy and hydrated while out and about! And the best part? With PediaSure’s SideKicks, I don’t even have to do any sneaking! These guys are so tasty that even kids with the most, ahem, “acquired” of tastes slurp them right up!

We of course added our own special Handmade Charlotte twist by throwing in milk, berries, and banana. Together they all combine to make the best, most balanced Banana Berry Smoothies any belly has ever tasted – and great way to blast off to a healthy summer!

• 1 Scoop PediaSure Smoothie Mix
• 1/2 Cup Frozen Berries
• 1 Banana
• 3/4 Cup 1% Milk

All you have to do is throw the ingredients together in a blender and blend until smooth! Yep friends, it’s just that easy.

We encourage you to put your own spin on PediaSure’s Smoothie SideKicks! Mix them with your kid’s favorite fruits and veggies to create a new go-to nutrious treat for the summer. We can’t wait to see what kinds of drinks you dream up :)
