Tools for Amazing Smoothies for Kids

Blender

If you don’t have a professional-grade blender yet, they make a HUGE difference! I LOVE our Vitamix Blender and have even purchased it as a gift for others (I ordered both blenders from Amazon). A good blender is a must-have if you want to make smoothies a regular part of your meal plan!

Smoothie Cups

Need some great cups for smoothies for kids? These Elk and Friends Stainless Steel Cups with Lids and Straws have been perfect for our toddlers, and these glass kids’ jars with silicone sleeves and lids would be perfect for a little older kids. They’re a huge time saver if you have kids prone to spilling.
