| National Smoothie Day, June 21, is the perfect opportunity to get creative with nutrient-packed blends that kids will love! Smoothies are a great way to mix and match their favorite fruits, veggies, and superfoods like spinach, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and nut butters – all while providing a tasty, refreshing snack or meal. Instead of "hiding" healthy ingredients, let your kids explore new flavors by involving them in the process—whether it’s choosing the fruits or blending the ingredients themselves. This fun, hands-on approach encourages healthy eating habits and helps them discover the joy of wholesome, delicious ingredients! Get creative by using whatever is in your fridge with this general/base recipe or find a specific one that you want to make by browsing all of these recipes! |

Long days of outdoor play and summer heat mean kids need extra hydration to stay energized and safe. Water is the best way to keep them hydrated, but when they’re sweating for long periods of time, they also lose important electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. During those long games or days at the pool, make sure to pack sports drinks, coconut water, or snacks like bananas, oranges, and yogurt to help replenish lost nutrients. Encourage kids to sip water throughout the day and fuel up with hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and berries. With the right balance of fluids and electrolytes, they’ll be ready to run, jump, and play all summer long!

Iron is an essential nutrient that helps carry oxygen through the body, keeping kids energized, focused, and strong. Without enough iron, children may feel tired, weak, or even have trouble concentrating. To boost iron intake, include iron-rich foods like lean meats, eggs, beans, spinach, and iron-fortified cereals in their diet. Pairing these foods with vitamin C sources (like oranges, bell peppers, or strawberries) at the same snack or meal helps the body absorb iron more effectively. For more information on how much iron your child needs and other options to consider, visit the medically-reviewed KidsHealth article.
