One of the easiest and most favourite of Roo’s treats is a milkshake.
Any flavour.
If it’s milky and shaky, she will drink it.
It’s something I feel good about handing over the security gate when I can control the amount of sugar and flavouring and still give her something she thinks is an awesome treat.
The only problem I come across during the gifting of a milkshake is the Two, who are highly offended by the smallest whiff of unfairness. And I’d like to be able to treat them in the same way.
Except for the part where: The Two + Dairy = Nightmare.
The obvious solution is a fruit smoothie!
(Makes 2)
4-6 strawberries
2 small-medium kiwi fruit
1 cup of rice milk
Seriously easy. Peel and chop the kiwis, chop up the strawberries. Whack them in the blender with the milk and whizz!
Which is totally cool because I have these nifty little cups from Philips Avent that came with my Mini Blender and feeding set. I’ve thrown it in the fridge and the boys will drink it tomorrow!
Banana & Honey Smoothie
OK, so I know the picture at the start has peanut butter and not a honey jar. I was going to make banana and peanut butter smoothies until I realised I didn’t have smooth peanut butter and the crunchy would take the smooth out of smoothie.
1-2 Bananas
1 teaspoon of honey
1.5 cups of rice milk
Roo does DOES like this one, I think because the bananas hide the taste of rice milk (she loves her “real” milk!). I had plenty left over to throw in the fridge for tomorrow’s morning tea.
The Philips Avent MiniBlender & Feeding Set is brilliant! A quick whizz in the blender had these smoothies just right. You could throw steamed veggies for your child just starting solids in the blender and wet mill, put the veggies in the storage cups and feed on the go or at home with ease.
My favourite part of the Miniblender, though, is it’s mini-ness. The base of the blender is only just wider than a coffee mug, which makes life easy for storage and use if you’ve got a smaller kitchen or limited bench space. I love that I can put all my ingredients out on my small bench space as well as have enough room for the blender, the cups and my chopping board.
The Miniblender and Feeding set comes with the base, the blender, the wet mill and 6 stackable storage cups with are for both fridge and freezer.
So, how would you like to win your own Miniblender and Feeding Set (RRP $119.95) PLUS Two decorated cups (RRP $13.95 ea) just like those ones the boys have up there ↑ ?
Great!

Liking Phillips Avent of facebook
If I was a smoothie, I would have to be something sweet, and rainbow hehe.
I have an obsession with cupcakes and bright, fun things so maybe a cupcake flavoured smoothie?
Not sure how good I’d taste but anything cupcake has to be good haha!
It would have to be fresh berries and yogurt yummy!
If I was a smoothie,
What would I be,
Something chock full of banana and honey,
Is fruity and sweet like me!
Jodi recently posted..Good on ya mum!
Coconut milk (cause its dairy free)
Tropical juice (so I can pretend I’m far away)
Blueberries and strawberries for Colour
Liked avent on facebook
If I were a smoothie, the flavour I would be?
Chocolate, and after explaining, I’m sure you’ll agree!
I’m deliciously good, better than any friend
If there’s a darkened tunnel, I’m the light at the end
I’d be there as you cry through The Notebook yet again
And I’d know how to satisfy, (unlike many men!)
High in fat (just like me), but we tame the loudest of screams
And turn your nightmares into the sweetest dreams!
Forget Band-Aids – to fix any ache, pain or tear
You just need me (and chocolate), to calm you and be there!!!
No, not smooth as I don’t have a blender. I’d have to be eaten with a spoon. More a dessert than a smoothie really if you look at the strict definition. And the flavour? Chocolate icecream, chocolate topping and some grated chocolate on top.
If I win the blender I’ll add some milk.
I would be Avocado – banana smoothie, know for building muscles in little ones.I will be the smoothest of all smoothies that little ones would love to sip through their sippy cups and bottles.
I have liked Philips Avent Australia on Facebook.
I have liked Philips Avent Australia facebook page…
A Strawberry and milk smoothie,
with lots of chopped nuts in it.
I will be a crunchy smoothie,
that will turn little boys n girls,
into superboys and supergirls ,
who will switch off their tv and video games,
and burn their energy in the playground.
I’d have to be Chocolate/Cherry. Definitely not smooth, but a little chunky around the middle. I can be sweet, unless you shake me up the wrong way and then I may be bitter or tart. I’m an acquired taste, but worth persevering with.
I would be a crazy mixture of Mango, tinned Pineapple (with juice), banana, raspberries and 2 dollops of french vanilla yoghurt with a squirt of honey! Tacky yet scrumptious!

My love of sweet things means that I would most likely be chocolate and strawberry flavour and my body shape would be reflected in the chunkyness of the smoothie.
Alicia recently posted..Who won the Westfield Gift Card?
I would be a banana & strawberry smoothie, because everyone loves them!
Mademoiselle Slimalicious recently posted..My French Shabby Chic Engagement Party Invitations
If I were to be a smoothie – it would be either banana or mango <– Both so yummy!
I don't have any fancy words, other than I could see this being perfect for my neice and nephew. They just LURVE fresh fruit in any form or fashion and to be able to make it so easily would be great
Thank-you!
I would be mulberry flavour, I used to get them all over me when I was a kid so it seems appropriate
I would like to not only be a smoothie made up of delicious strawberries and bluberries…but the owner of the smoothie business. They are always so busy!
Ok so the kids might be sending you slightly batting, but gosh they are cute.

I’d be chocolate banana coconut, and definitely would be smooth.
I’m a yummy little smoothie,
The smoothest one ever!
I’m banana, pear and strawberries
all mixed together!!
I was made by your mummy
Out of goodness and a dash of love
I will fill your little tummy
Thanks to my smooth ingredients mixed above!
If I were a smoothie I would be rosewater and vanilla flavoured – super girly and feminine and sweet! I would be one of those smoothies that you want to be smooth and you keep trying to get rid of the lumps but for some reason they just keep on reappearing!
Lisa recently posted..My breastfeeding story
Oh yum!! I’d be banana strawberry and frozen yoghurt nice and cold and pretty pink
I would be a Pina Colada flavoured smoothie topped with fresh passionfruit and chopped mango.
I’d be a mango smoothie, you either love it or you hate it. Never any grey areas of uncertainty with me.
I would be a peanut butter, banana and vanilla ice cream smoothie, with lots of little nutty bits through out. Letting the real me shine through, and that is unique!
Black Cherry, delicious and utterly irresistible to the ladies
So smooth, Melted chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallows, icy l milk, home made chocolate icecream then topped with grated coconut whipped cream and chocolate, for those days when you need a real ‘fix’
I would be a creamy thick stawberry soothie <3
A berry smoothie, with all the lumps and bumps because I like it natural and close to the real thing!
I would like to think I am rough and a little bit nutty!!! A smoothie I am full of pine nuts and hazelnuts, icecream, bananas and chocolate mmm….. A little bit rough around the edges but smooth going down
)
If I were a smoothie I’d be berry – sweet but a little bit tart too. And I would like to be engineered to not have little berry piece leftovers because I’d hate to be stuck in peoples’ teeth.
Rebekah recently posted..We Walk to Remember.
I’d be a mango smoothie for sure, with delicious mangoes growing on my tree none would go to waste any more.
I always make apricot smoothie. It is good for the health.
Hanna Ross recently posted..Boost up you Ejaculation Volume Naturally
I’d be a Ginger Fluff smoothie…reminding me of afternoon teas with my friends after a game of tennis! Ginger Fluff sponge defeated our efforts to lose weight! Lol!
I’m thinking sweet and fresh – strawberries, creamy bananas a touch of yoghurt and a hint of mango. All blended together I’d have to call it a blissful tango!
I would be a smoothie made of juju beans. They’re so bitter you want to spit them out. No one would ever dare to drink me up!
I wonder if this will teach me the skill of making the ultimate smoothie. I have tried before and failed miserably. My little one is always busting my chops about a ‘smoothyshake’ as he calls them and I hate letting him down but alas mine just dont come to par.
wish me luck
I would be a mocktail smoothie – of the Midori Splice version. Pineapple juice, coconut cream and melon ….. and it would be oh so smooth, especially on it’s way down!!
Going all out here.

If there was a smoothie
that tasted just like me
I’d like to say it consisted of
all things pure good and sweet.
However once you took a sip
the truth would be revealed:
lemon, sour grapes and salt
from wounds that have not healed
Some milk would probably sneak in
from this tired mumma’s breast.
a hint of baby spew perhaps,
to garnish all the rest.
But in amongst the random,
the horrid and obscene
are ingredients so vivid
that are tasted but not seen.
A cup of love, a splash of pride
A nice big serve of joy
Grown in the presence of
A special girl and boy.
If you need a helping hand
To cut through all the rough,
The avent miniblender
Is decent, strong and tough
