Making smoothies with powdered milk

Here in Southern California it feels like we’re right in the middle of Summer still – even though we’re heading into September. So to combat the heat, we’ve been making smoothies with powdered milk for our meals and snacks, and we’re using Nestle NIDO to make them.

We love making smoothies with powdered milk at home because they are super simple to put together, extremely vegetarian friendly, and we get to top off our fruit and veggies intake!

It also gets our diet back on track – especially after we’ve had our share of trips, excursions and activities these last few months. We ate our share of ice cream, fortune cookies and sourdough bread while in San Francisco, and then there was our meal at Denny’s Diner where we devoured avocado sandwiches.

Of course, I can’t forget about the snacks that we had during our parties, like the “Reading under the Stars” get together and our Disney Jr. fiesta! Boy – we had an awesome Summer! And now, we need to get back on track.

So we partnered with Nestlé NIDO to introduce this easy-to-make powdered milk product to the kids. However, because the chiclets are not used to drinking cow milk, I decided to simply add it to a smoothie that is chock full of fruits and veggies.
