We\u2019ve been on a smoothie kick around here lately, so the kids have really been into drinking some fun summer concoctions. I\u2019m finding I\u2019m loving it as a way to get some greens into them that are generally more challenging. For example, kale. There doesn\u2019t seem to be a super kid-friendly way to serve these power greens, but in juice form? 100% delicious.<\/p>\n

I love this juice combo for so many reasons. First of all, I get to call it juice which makes Hailey’s eyes light up. And second,  it\u2019s only 4 ingredients.<\/p>\n

Coconut & Kale Power Juice (Toddler-Approved)<\/h2>\n

Kale<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s high in iron, vitamins K, A, C and calcium. It\u2019s packed with phytonutrients and a great anti-inflammatory food.<\/p>\n

Coconut Water.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Great for summertime because it has fewer calories, less sodium and more potassium than most sports drinks, yet is still packed with electrolytes to help rehydrate a busy body on a hot day.<\/p>\n

Yogurt<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

This organic Banilla yogurt from Stonyfield has 35g of sugar per cup (a little one the high side, though some of it -about 12g- is naturally occurring dairy sugar), but it tastes amazing and has just enough sweetness to overpower the bitterness of the greens. Plus, it adds some great probiotics to encourage gut health.<\/p>\n

Fiber, potassium, mood-enhancing tryptophan.  What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n

This hydrating, delicious juice\/smoothie is perfect for a hot afternoon refresher.<\/p>\n

Hailey loved it and I loved that it made enough for us both to enjoy.<\/p>\n

One word of warning. It does create quite the green mustache.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s totally worth looking like you ate a leprechaun.<\/p>\n
