The weather’s starting to warm up, so we have cool, refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothies on the brain. Unfortunately, a lot of green smoothies are super intimidating to kids. (Fruits and vegetables? No thanks.) Luckily, there are plenty of yummy, healthy smoothies that are easy on the eyes and the taste buds. Here are three to get you started!
