A Healthy Smoothie for ADD/HD Kids
If you have been looking for healthy snacks for you and your kids, then you have come to the right place. To be quite honest with you, these smoothie recipes are great for your kids even if they aren’t displaying signs of ADD/HD.
They are good brain food recipes. And because they are sweet and have pretty colors, they are enticing for youngsters and many times you can add things that they wouldn’t normally eat. And to enhance their enjoyment, let them participate in the process of making the smoothie. I let my children add their favorite fruits or ingredients and then they have a sense of participation in making their own snack.
A word of caution…if your child displays behavioral changes after their smoothie, than you may need to think about food sensitivities or allergies. Sometimes it isn’t just one food, but it is the combination of foods. A natural allergy elimination program can be quite beneficial in this case.

Now let’s continue for the delicious recipe…
2 cups organic milk - alternative milk can be used in case of lactose intolerance
1 small 4oz container of organic yogurt (flavored is okay, no food coloring or aspartame)
1 cup frozen blueberries (organic)
3-4 large frozen strawberries (organic)
1 tablespoon Flax oil
Powdered vitamin supplement (I use Natures Way Alive! Vanilla flavor)
I personally add 1-2000 mg’s of Vitamin C powder
1-2 shakes of Stevia (natural sweetner…don’t use anything else)
AND BLEND IT UNTIL SMOOTH
It makes a healthy smoothie anytime, and is especially healthy since it contains antioxidants with the blueberries, the Alive contains fruits, vegetables and green foods. Flax oil is considered a good brain food. And the best part, it has a color kids will love…Purple!
Bon Appetit!
