Recipe Tips

This super easy orange peach apple smoothie recipe gets done in under 10 minutes and makes this a go-to recipe for any time. Here are some essential tips to remember before you make the smoothie.

• Add cow’s milk only for kids above 1 year of age, for the younger ones use formula milk or breast milk.
• Make sure oranges are not too sour as that would require you to add sweetener which we want to avoid.
• Apples and oranges should not have any seeds as that is dangerous as well as spoils the taste.
• Use honey for kids older than 1 year, if required, for smaller kids do not add honey. The apple along with banana is enough to give this smoothie a sweet taste.
• You could add vegetables of your choice but do not put in too many varieties else the taste might not turn out as good.
