Immune Boosting Smoothie – A Vitamin-Packed Boost that Kids Will Love

Whenever cold and flu season hits, I love having this immune boosting smoothie on repeat. It’s the perfect way to sneak in extra vitamins, fruits, and greens while tasting like a tropical treat! My little one absolutely loves it and I secretly love that it’s packed with nutrients to help keep us healthy all year long. Whether it’s for breakfast, snack time, or a quick afternoon pick-me-up, this smoothie always feels like sunshine in a glass.

What Makes This Immune Boosting Smoothie So Special:

This smoothie blends together banana, mango, kiwi, spinach, and orange juice all powerhouse ingredients loaded with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. The natural sweetness from the fruit (and a date or drizzle of honey for 12 months and up) makes it incredibly delicious without any added sugar. The combination of creamy banana, juicy mango, and tangy kiwi creates a smooth, tropical flavor that’s refreshing and comforting at the same time.
