There are so many different ways to make a smoothie, your kids should never be bored.  While not packed full of fruits and veggies, this smoothie sure made a great treat. We called it the Orange creamsicle smoothie.  I’ve seen different versions on many different websites, but I kept ours simple:

• 1 Cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 24 ice cubes

Put all ingredients in a blender.

  And drink

Monday: Fruits and Vegetables

I gave my kids watermelon homework for the holiday (Memorial Day).   Sounds mean I know, but they like homework sheets, I sware.  And of course, they had to EAT watermelon to do their watermelon homework!   We love watermelon.

Did you know there is a National Watermelon Association? Did you know they have a watermelon BLOG? And that there is a National Watermelon QUEEN?  This reminded me that I had a mission companion that was the 4H Beef queen!   Anyway, to be the watermelon queen, you must possess great knowledge of watermelon’s.

As for the Watermelon homework, there are some printable homework sheets here!  Perfect for summer learning activities.

I’m cutting up the watermelon for a Memorial Day neighborhood BBQ.  This way we can be sure to have something healthy and sweet to eat.  We also like Watermelon smoothies, and slushies.
