Give the classic Strawberry Banana smoothie a veggie-boost with some added cauliflower! You won't be able to taste or see the cauliflower and your smoothie will include a daily serving of veggies, it's a win-win!
Learn to Love Veggies Tip
Adding veggies to smoothies is a great way to introduce vegetables to children who are still apprehensive about eating them plain. Have your child make this smoothie with you so they know the cauliflower is in it, once they press the start button it's like magic... *poof* the cauliflower disappears!

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip
This is a very flexible recipe, we suggest bell pepper & cheese as the quiche filling but ask your child, "What veggie would you like in the quiche?". Great options include broccoli, shredded carrot, spinach, tomato, and more! Giving children some control over what goes in the mini quiche bites will make them more likely to try them when they come out of the oven.

Kiddos scared to try kale? Make it into a sweet monster! A smoothie bowl is thicker than a smoothie but softer than ice cream. You can add a little extra milk to the recipe and drink it if you’d prefer. Frozen bananas make this snack sweet and creamy, and you really can’t taste the kale at all. This interactive and delicious snack that’s packed with kale was created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club.
"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip
This is a silly snack that your kids will definitely be excited to eat! Make sure your little chef rips up the kale leaves and adds them to the blender, so he/she knows those super greens are in there. Have a chocolate lover or a child that prefers not to see green? Add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder and you’ve got a chocolate monster! Slice some fruit and get out toppings such as nuts or seeds and let the kiddos make silly or scary monster faces on top.

Cucumber and melon make such a great flavor combination in this refreshing summer drink created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club!
This recipe presents kids with the chance to practice those knife skills and chop up some cucumbers. Since the cucumber is getting blended in the end, you don’t have to worry about what size or shape kids cut the cucumber and melon pieces into. Throw the peeled, chopped cucumber into the blender with some melon, a little lemon juice, and a touch of sweetener (if you’d like) and blend it all up. I used a Honeydew melon to keep the blended juice green, but you can use any ripe, sweet melon for this recipe. "Learn to Love Veggies" Tip
Kids can experience the taste of cucumber without having to chew it, so this drink is great for little ones that might be apprehensive about the texture of cucumber.
