Springalicious Easter Smoothie Recipe

Turn healthy, colorful smoothies into cute Easter-inspired animals for a springtime breakfast that will delight your little ones!

Happy Easter! Celebrate with these sweet, fruity smoothies that are as colorful as spring flowers.

We love serving fruit smoothies because they’re quick to make, appealing to kids, and full of vitamin-rich fruits and veggies. And with just a few simple supplies that you probably have on hand, you can turn your next smoothie into a cute spring creature that will delight your little ones.

Add a hard-boiled egg and a pancake, and you have a complete and balanced Easter-season breakfast.

How to Make Springalicious Easter Smoothies

Step 1) Let the kids decorate cups.

First, get creative with your faces! You can use glass cups, or clear plastic cups. For decorating supplies, get:

• Glue (we used hot glue because it’s faster and sticks very well)
• A sharpie marker
• Googly eyes
• Pom poms
• Paper or card stock (for ears)
• And pipe cleaners

Step 2) Choose your ears.

Next, cut triangles from paper or card stock, and punch two holes in the triangles so you can slide a straw through it for an “ear.” (See the pictures.) Give each one of your bunnies two of these. I also love how our carrot ears turned out! We just peeled a carrot, and sliced it in half, so the two sides were identical.  (I should have drawn some eyelashes on this orange guy!

Step 3) Make your smoothies

You definitely don’t have to make every color smoothie for breakfast! Feel free to choose one or two colors, and stick with it for all the smoothies. (Cleaning out your blender five times isn’t exactly a quick activity.) You can choose from all the recipes below.

Step 4) Have fun!

Remember, these kitchen memories and traditions you have with your kids are meant for bonding and having fun. If they don’t drink or eat everything you lovingly make for them, that’s OK! They’ll still remember the fun they had decorating cups together and spending time with you.

Let us know if you decide to make these for your kids!
