Breakfast Smoothie

Some days of our weeks are breakfast smoothie days. V has to get to his daycare by 10.30 in the morning and he sleeps in most days and especially so during some days. As a rule, we don’t wake him up but instead let him sleep as much as he wants and wake up by himself. If he gets up way too late then we just skip daycare and we get an extra V-Amma day that week Smile

On those days that he wakes up late, I quickly blend together a breakfast smoothie which V helps with by pressing the button of the personal blender we have. He loves doing that and when I tell him that it is smoothie day, he picks out the blender jar for me from the kitchen cabinet and calls out all the ingredients as I add it to the blender. Then he “hepps” with the blending and says “all done” and that is when we are done. He calls smoothies “chia paappi” – paappi (derived from kaappi / coffee, that I drink) is anything to drink and chia paappi is smoothie as most times I put chia in his smoothie.

This is a simple smoothie with some bananas, almond milk, avocado, peanut butter, powdered oatmeal and chia seeds. It is vegan but not nut free, but you can easily make it nut free by substituting sun butter for the peanut butter and rice milk for almond milk. The bananas give it some body and the avocados gives it some extra creaminess and they all are good for him too.

What I love about V helping out making his own breakfast is that he knows what he is eating and at some level feels that it was his choice as to what went into his breakfast and tends to eat better those days. Do you let your kids help out in the kitchen? What do you love most about it?
