Need Ideas For High Protein Smoothies For A Child

[Ms.Lisa]

I need help with finding high protein smoothies/food for a 10 year old with celiac & dairy allergies. I need some ideas on things that taste good for a kid. She's very low on protein & if I can find pre-made smoothies that would be awesome! I would appreciate any advice. Thanks so much!

I use Vega protein powder in my kids smoothies; usually chocolate because the vanilla flavour turns everything green. LOL I also add avocado, hemp seeds/hearts, coconut yogurt, coconut milk or cream, vegggies like carrots, cucs and spinach, and fruit like bananas, berries, kiwis, or mangoes. I blend it all in a great blender and send it out with them when we are out for the day.

 

The Vega powder is fine with just a coconut milk too. I usually add it, along with extra eggs, into all baking I do too.... My kids have milk and nut allergies, and are not big meat eaters either.

not super high in protein, but can she eat peanut butter?

 

My older son loves peanut butter smoothies.  I do plain or vanilla coconut milk, a frozen banana or two, a big scoop of peanut butter, sometimes I add some ground flax seed.

I do a similar smoothie to Cara above,...with milk substitute, a few spoonfuls almond butter or peanut butter, tsp of vanilla, 2-3 dates, 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, a large banana, a little bit of flax seeds or chia seeds, and ice. Blend in a powerful blender. This is what we drink instead of traditional chocolate milk.
