Blueberry Superfood Smoothie
This purple powerhouse is so lip-smackingly tasty, you’d never guess it’s packed with super foods. Blueberries deliver fiber and antioxidants, probiotic-rich kefir lends healthful bacteria, coconut water is the best natural sports drink I know, banana kicks up the potassium, chia seeds add Omega 3s, and the avocado? It’s full of fiber and good-for-you fats that give the smoothie creaminess your kids would never guess came from a green plant.
