It's been quite a few days I haven't posted anything, My husband decided to change the router and of course didn't remember for his account password so instead of improving the connection, we ended up with no internet for several days.
Anyways hi there. Last week I was shopping in the grocery store and saw some really cute pouches with some baby smoothies. And of course I thought why not making something like that but fresher at home. So I just got some fruit and berries and started mixing and matching.
Fruit smoothies and juices are great for babies and kids. They love drinking juices, the latter are packed with vitamins and nutrients, and at the same time it's a great way to give this 5-a-day portion to your little ones. They don't even have to chew it.
My daughter will not eat pears or pineapples just like that, I guess she just thinks they are too grainy and sour but once in smoothie she can sip it with her meals or after a walk, whenever she wants. You can hide veggies or fruit your baby doesn't like.
You can start giving simple one or two ingredients juices to your baby from 6 months. I started with small portions of diluted in water juice. I guess by the age of 8-9 months I was giving my little one simple juices as well as mixed juices which were made specially for babies. Later smoothies joined our diet.
This recipe contains 3 ingredients.
You'll need:
Preparation:
Put the orange segments and strawberries in blender and process to a smooth consistency. Once it's done, add carrot juice, give a stir and voila your simple smoothies is ready.
Put in a sippy cup and give it to your baby or dilute with some water first if you'd like. I discovered that non-spil cup that my baby usually has gets clogged very fast. So I removed the rubber membrane from the straw to make it easy to drink. If you can;t do it I advise to get a simple cup with medium size holes otherwise, try to either make a smoothie less thick or strain it to remove the pulp (I never tries it myself and don't know if it will work though).
TIP:
When choosing strawberries as well as most of other berries or some fruit like peaches, nectarines or pears, make sure they don't have dark spots and are fragrant. Try not to press on soft fruit as you can easily damage them causing bruising to begin a while later.
That's all for now...
take care there.

This recipe contains 3 ingredients.
You'll need:
- segments of 3 oranges ( once I cut out all the segments I squeeze the rest of pulp not to waste juice)
- 6 medium ripe strawberries, cut in halves (make sure you wash them thoroughly)
- about 2 tbsps carrot juice (I finely grated one medium carrot and squeezed the juice out of the pulp - I added the pulp to my baby turkey soup later)
Preparation:
Put the orange segments and strawberries in blender and process to a smooth consistency. Once it's done, add carrot juice, give a stir and voila your simple smoothies is ready.
