Serving Suggestions
Note
- If you’re making this smoothie for a fussy toddler you could use half almond milk and half full cream dairy milk to give it a creamier taste.
- If the chia seeds make the smoothie too bulky, just add some extra milk or water.
- Sometimes you need a little bit of extra help to entice the kids so you could add a little Milo
