Carrot apple smoothie

Children wash, peel, and blend fresh carrots with apples into a nutritious smoothie.

Steps

1. Children thoroughly wash carrots and apples.
2. Under adult supervision, they peel the carrots using child-safe peelers.
3. We add fruit and vegetable chunks into a blender with water or juice and blend.
4. We sample the smoothie and compare its sweetness to whole raw carrots.

Tip: Y-shaped vegetable peelers with safety guards are easiest and safest for young children.

Materials needed

• Y-peeler vegetable peelers (3 pieces)
• Countertop blender (1 unit)
