When to Introduce: Consult your pediatrician about the introduction of nuts into your child’s diet

Stars: This recipe combines almonds (high protein), dates (good source of fiber) and bananas (lots of potassium and fiber).

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana (I like to freeze mine ahead of time which makes it taste more like a milkshake!!!!)

1 cup Almond Milk (I use vanilla flavored, unsweetened -- but any variety would do)

2-3 dates (add more or less depending on how sweet you like it -- make sure to remove pits)

5 raw almonds

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Puree. Fill your reusable food pouch with your delicious smoothie.

Servings: Fills approximately 2-3 Little Green Pouches.

Modifications: Substitute regular milk for the almond milk, and instead of raw almonds, add a tablespoon of almond butter.
