Orange Cream Smoothie

By dette

Every time I've worked on a show of book involving kids, the nutritionist always encourages me to use as much yogurt and milk in my recipes as possible-it's so important for the kid's growing bones. Yogurt used to be a tough sell for kids. But now with all of the creative flavors, from Boston cream pie to pine apple upside-down cake to key lime pie (many of which even have added fiber for extra health benefits), it's easy to create delicious dishes that employ yogurt.
