Ingredients in Apple and Mango Smoothie
This is a gentle smoothie for little tastebuds. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
Fresh Apple – I love using a sweet red variety, like Pink Lady or Royal Gala. Keep the skin on for extra fibre if you like, or peel it if your child prefers a smoother texture.
Frozen Mango – This gives the smoothie that cool, creamy consistency without needing ice. You can also use fresh mango and add a few ice cubes, but I find using frozen fruit gives more consistent, flavourful results.
Milk – We use full-cream dairy milk at home, but feel free to substitute your preferred milk (just remember, not all milk alternatives are recommended for children under 2 years of age [1]).
Rolled Oats – Just two tablespoons helps this smoothie keep tummies full a bit longer.
That’s it! Four simple ingredients, blended together for a creamy, naturally sweet smoothie that’s perfect for toddlers and kids.
