Getting your kid to eat fruits and veggies, especially greens, is definitely a challenging task. A very good solution for this challenge would be to blend them into a thick smooth drink with yogurt, milk or ice cream. Most kids love this sweet cold treat.

A smoothie (also spelled smoothy) is a thick blended beverage with shake like consistency, normally pureed in a blender containing fruits and/or vegetables as well as an added liquid such as fruit juice, vegetable juice, milk, ice cream or even yogurt. A smoothie contains much higher levels of fiber, carbohydrates, fruit sugars and vitamin C, so one glass is nutritionally more satisfying and can be a good dessert or breakfast option for kids.
Traditionally, most smoothies consist of three parts: some type of liquid (often called the "base" of the smoothie), an assortment of fruits and/or vegetables, and ice. If frozen fruit or vegetables are used, the cool temperature can be achieved without using ice.
Here are a few recipes which your kid might love...
