We were at the farmers market and there was a plethora of fresh pineapple and papaya to be had. When my kids were young and skeptical about new foods (and even now as they’re 4 and 6 years old), I make sure to include them in the cooking process. Getting involved helps them feel accomplished and gets them more excited to try new things. Smoothies are one of the tastiest and easiest ways to get kids to enjoy a new flavor.
Papayas and pineapples are both high in Vitamin C as well as containing enzymes that help break down protein in the body, thereby aiding digestion. Just one taste of this luscious smoothie and the kids were hooked. I filled up there glasses and moments later they came back for seconds.
