I thought that these would just be cute. But I was wrong.
According to my 3 and 5 year old daughters, these rocked their world.
I was “The BEST mom in the world.” “The COOLEST.” “The most awesomest.” And my favorite “How could you have known just what I wanted? A unicorn-fairy-rainbow-princess smoothie!?”
In other words, if you have kids, these will probably go over well. Uh, I am pretty sure it isn’t the delicious healthy combo of milk and fresh fruit. I am pretty sure that it is the layering effect of the particularly thick smoothies.
I will go ahead and make these again tomorrow as a breakfast treat they can wake up to on Valentines Day. Healthy, filling and totally adorable- it’s how we should all start our day!
Don’t miss tomorrow, when I post a very HOT and glutinous “Grown Up” Drink….

Love these; they look so pretty Heather! What protein powder do you use? I like the Vanilla Vega Protein powder; have you tried that? Totally making these for Friday morning! Thanks for the ‘sweet’ recipe. Happy LOVE Day! xoox
Such a pretty and tasty idea – I love it!
Do you happen to have any idea about how many calories it would be per serving? Trying to track my daily po intake and want to accurately track these yummy smoothies!!! Thank you!!!
sorry Lindsay, I don’t have that stuff?
How fun! I love the layering.
I have three girls who would love this for valentine’s day. What would you suggest, if anything, as a substitute for vanilla protein powder?
What can you use instead of the protein powder?
