FAQ
Can I use cow’s milk instead of almond milk?
Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer. However, almond milk is a great option because it is low in calories and fat, and high in vitamins and minerals.
Can I add sweeteners to the smoothies?
It is not recommended to add sweeteners, such as honey or sugar, to the smoothies. The fruits and vegetables used in the recipes already provide natural sweetness.
How often can I give my child smoothies?
You can give your child smoothies as often as you like, but it is recommended to limit their intake to one to two servings per day.
Can I freeze the smoothies for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the smoothies in ice cube trays and store them in freezer bags for up to three months.
Can I use frozen fruits and vegetables?
Yes, frozen fruits and vegetables are a great option because they are convenient and can be used year-round. Just make sure to thaw them before using in the recipe.
Can I use a regular blender instead of a high-speed blender?
Yes, a regular blender will work just fine. However, a high-speed blender will produce a smoother and creamier texture.
How can I make the smoothies creamier?
You can add a banana or avocado to the recipe to make the smoothies creamier.
Can I add supplements to the smoothies?
Yes, you can add supplements, such as protein powder or probiotics, to the smoothies. Just make sure to consult your child’s pediatrician before doing so.

In The Blender Girl, Tess’s much-anticipated debut cookbook, she offers 100 whole-food recipes that are gluten-free and vegan, and rely on natural flavors and sweeteners. Many are also raw and nut-, soy-, corn-, and sugar-free. Smoothies, soups, and spreads are a given in a blender cookbook, but this surprisingly versatile collection also includes appetizers, salads, and main dishes with a blended component, like Fresh Spring Rolls with Orange-Almond Sauce, Twisted Caesar Pleaser, Spicy Chickpea Burgers with Portobello Buns and Greens, and I-Love-Veggies! Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up.
