This super summer smoothie recipe is filling enough to be an easy, take it with you breakfast or lunch all on its own.  It’s also a deceptively delicious drink—kids will never know they are drinking flaxseed and cod liver oil!

Ingredients:

½ cup plain, unsweetened kefir

2 T honey

¼ not from concentrate orange juice

1 T strawberry flavored cod liver oil (I use Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA)

1 T ground flaxseed

2 bananas, peeled

3 cups frozen strawberries

3 peaches, halved and pitted

¾ cup plain, Greek strained yogurt

Method:

Place all ingredients in order listed in high powered blender that can grind right through frozen fruit and fruit skin.  I use my very favorite kitchen tool—the Vita-Mix.  Blend on low for about 20 seconds and then switch to high power until ingredients are fully blended and smooth.  This recipe makes 4 large servings—so just use more or less of the ingredients to make as much as you need.
