I've decided to start making a morning smoothie for the family each day. What are some of your favorite healthy smoothie recipes?

Clean-it-up Special! All the slightly-over-ripe fruit in the basket gets thrown in the blender with some yogurt and WHALA! Its different and delicious every time.

I make some for my kids on occasion. Many are like Ivy's: any fruit that needs to be eaten ASAP. One that they seemed to really like was vanilla yogurt, orange juice, bananas, and ground flaxseed. They also like any smoothie with blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries. Now if I could get them to eat the spinach and broccoli smoothies....  | ||

Put in fresh beets and pineapple with the green veggies. The beets make it a wonderful color, and the pineapple hide the veggie flavor  Just a little beet, and lots of pineapple.

Anybody know if Chamomile is a safe herbal supplement for children?

Studies have found that chamomile is a mild sedative that seems to be safe for children of all ages. (It may trigger an allergic reaction, however, especially if a child is sensitive to ragweed.) Bottom line: If not allergic to ragweed or other similar plants, drink up. Herbs for Kids: What's Safe, What's Not Echinacea. This herb flies off the shelves on the premise that it boosts the immune system and helps fend off colds. Scientific studies, however, have found conflicting results. Kemper reports that taking echinacea can cause dermatitis, but, like chamomile, it seems to be generally safe for children who aren't allergic to it Herbs for Kids: What's Safe, What's Not
