You will love these kid-friendly smoothie recipes for so many reasons. I love making smoothies with the kids at my learning house for children with autism, Le Chemin ABA too.
- Smoothie recipes are easy to follow and require few ingredients.
- When making a smoothie, we can use a simple 2 or 3 step visual schedule to plan out the activity and show the kids what steps they need to follow with photos.

- Smoothies are (depending on the ingredients!) healthy. We always use fresh, organic ingredients for our smoothies.
