Health Benefits
Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.

Strawberries – Strawberries are a flavorful staple of many healthy smoothies and shakes. They are an excellent source of several important antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds including pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins, and procyanidins. Strawberries are widely known to decrease the risk of heart disease, help regulate blood sugar, and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Soy Milk – Soy milk is a dairy substitute made from soybeans and water. It is an excellent source of protein, potassium, and is often fortified with vitamin A, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Also, being plant-based, soy milk contains no cholesterol, no lactose, and is very low in saturated fat.

Equipment Needed
![Smoothie King Kids Lil Angel 6 Smoothie Making Tools](https://makedrinks.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/smoothie-making-tools.jpg)
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Smoothie King Kids Lil Angel
The Smoothie King Kids Lil Angel is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place banana, strawberries, soy milk, and Kids Multivitamin Boost into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
If soy milk isn’t preferred, you can substitute it with almond milk, coconut milk, or even regular dairy milk.
To make the smoothie even more filling, consider adding a scoop of oats or spoonful of chia seeds.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Soy milk is generally safe for children and can be a great alternative to dairy milk, especially for those who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. It provides essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamin D. However, it’s always a good idea to choose fortified soy milk and consult with a pediatrician to ensure it fits well within your child’s diet.
To make this smoothie even more nutrient-dense, you can add a handful of spinach or kale for extra vitamins and minerals. Both of these additions blend well and won’t significantly alter the taste of the smoothie.
