I didn't attach the value part and just froze the smoothie in the cup. It took a while to melt and she drank it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758314 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:55:48 +0000 Lozza 758314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At age 2, LO loves watching me make smoothies. I now let him drink it out of a regular cup (no lid) with a straw, but I watch him pretty carefully. The take and toss straw cups were too narrow to really work for smoothies. I tend to do fruit and kefir and try to toss in some greens if they're handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758295 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:52:21 +0000 winniebee 758295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: thx! </p> <p>@Bao: I'm all about store bought. Wondering same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758271 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:47:26 +0000 Bao 758271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about smoothies too! We don't have a blender though...I wonder if there is a good store bought kind...</p> <p>I agree with the take and toss cups, LO only drinks water out of them but they have a good straw for smoothies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758245 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:43:01 +0000 autumnlove 758245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: so far I've only made spinach, strawberry and banana smoothie with an almond milk or whole milk base. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758220 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:39:31 +0000 winniebee 758220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: interesting tx!</p> <p>What do you put in the smoothie? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758216 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:39:06 +0000 Weagle 758216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't done this yet, but I was planning on putting it in Take and Toss straw cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-758204 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:36:56 +0000 autumnlove 758204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give smoothies to her at home in a Take and Toss cup and I just ordered some reusable pouches on Amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-and-toddlers#post-757944 Thu, 02 May 2013 18:35:23 +0000 winniebee 757944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I notice a lot of parents give their kids smoothies for breakfast.</p> <p>If you do, what does your LO drink it in? I was thinking of sending one to daycare but I feel like most straw cups are too thin. </p>
