Over the weekend, my youngest son asked if he could have a plain vanilla smoothie! I’m always making smoothies for kids, but I have to be honest and say that I had never made a vanilla smoothie recipe of either of my boys. Now, if I were making a vanilla smoothie for myself I would probably just make a protein shake and be done with it. After all, how complicated does it need to be? But, when making smoothie recipes for my little ones, I tend to try to stay away from protein powder. Not so much because I don’t think it is good for them, but because in my experience they tend to take a few sips and then ignore the rest. Maybe it is the aftertaste that some protein powders have?
Anyhow, my goal was to make him a vanilla smoothie that tasted like a milk shake minus all of the fat! I tasted it myself and I could see why he drank it all and asked for more! Though simple, it is quite delicious!
