Step 3: Blend Smooth

Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If it’s too thick, just splash in more milk.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Taste the smoothie. If your peaches or banana weren’t super ripe, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and give it another quick blend.

Pour into kid-friendly cups, add a silly straw, and watch those veggies disappear without a fuss. This also works great for lunchboxes if you send it in an insulated bottle.

Always make sure fresh produce is washed thoroughly—especially if you’re whipping this up for babies or toddlers.

FAQs About Hidden-Veg Peach-Spinach for kids

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen spinach works fine—just use about ½ cup. No need to thaw, but keep in mind the flavor may be slightly stronger.

What if my child doesn’t like bananas?

Try subbing in frozen mango or avocado. Mango keeps it sweet, while avocado adds a creamy texture with less flavor.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. Use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and a plant-based milk to keep it vegan-friendly.

Is this smoothie safe for babies?

Yes! Just skip the honey if your baby is under 12 months and make sure everything is well blended and fresh.

Can I add more vegetables?

Totally. A bit of steamed zucchini or frozen cauliflower can blend in seamlessly with the peach and banana.

How can I make it more filling?

Blend in rolled oats, creamy nut butter, or a kid-approved scoop of protein powder to transform your Kid Friendly Smoothies into a hearty breakfast or post-school snack.
