Who says you can't play with your food—as long as you eat it too? Try increasing kids' consumption of healthy snacks by making them fun to eat. You'll get to spend some enjoyable time together, and have the chance to make good food fun to eat and make—together.

In a blender, the kids (with your help) can mix together a banana, some frozen strawberries, and a cup of orange or apple juice. Optional additions include wheat germ, yogurt, sherbet, and tofu (when the kids aren't looking!). You can also substitute other fruit, such as peaches, blueberries, or raspberries. This will make enough for 2 large smoothies.
