Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Toddler-friendly cup or straw cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in a blender. Add the banana, spinach, Greek yogurt, almond milk, pineapple chunks, and chia seeds (if using) to your blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Start on a low speed, then increase until everything is well combined. The smoothie should be thick but easy to drink. If it feels too thick, add a little more milk and blend again.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a toddler-friendly cup and watch your little one enjoy a tasty, nutritious treat! If your toddler is picky about green color or texture, try a colorful straw or a fun cup to make it more exciting.

Notes

Storage tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving. You can also freeze in popsicle molds or silicone trays for grab-and-go snacks.
Texture tips: For babies 8–12 months, use extra milk for a thinner texture. For toddlers, keep it thicker to help with self-feeding.
Allergy-friendly: Use a dairy-free yogurt and milk to make this recipe completely dairy-free.
Nutrition boosters: Add ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or a spoonful of nut butter for extra healthy fats and fiber.
Parent-friendly tip: Give it a fun name like “Super Green Monster Juice” to help picky eaters warm up to it!
