Why This Smoothie Is Great for Kids

This smoothie is packed with goodness that supports your child’s health and development:

Raspberries

These little berries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Vitamin C helps boost the immune system, while antioxidants protect growing cells and support healthy skin.

Beets

Beets are full of iron, folate, potassium, and nitrates that support blood health and brain function. The natural sweetness helps win over picky eaters, especially when blended with fruit.

Banana

Bananas are a great source of potassium and vitamin B6, which aid muscle function and energy production. They also add a creamy texture that makes this smoothie feel like a treat.

Dates

Dates provide natural sugars, fiber, and small amounts of magnesium and iron. They’re a great sweetener for kids without causing a sugar crash.

Plant-Based Milk

Depending on your choice, non-dairy milk can offer calcium, vitamin D, and healthy fats. Fortified options are especially good for supporting bone health.
