Can I give smoothies to a 6-month-old?

Yes, but modify the ingredients. Use breastmilk or formula as the liquid base and avoid honey or cow's milk. Ensure the texture is thin enough to swallow easily.

How often should my toddler drink these?

One smoothie a day is a great supplement. It shouldn't replace solid meals completely but works perfectly as a nutritious snack.

My baby has a dairy allergy, what can I use?

Swap the cow's milk for Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk or fortified Oat Milk. Use dairy-free yogurt or simply add more avocado for creaminess.

Can I prep these in advance?

Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the fruit/veggie packs in ziplock bags. When you are ready, just dump the bag in the blender, add milk, and blend!
