Cool summer drink ideas for kids (and adults!)

Avocado & banana smoothie

Have you ever added avocado to your smoothie? Avocados contain healthy fats and fibre. Fibre helps you feel fuller for longer, so it’s great for breakfast, or for an afternoon snack, and the healthy fats help the body to absorb vitamins A, D & E.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 120g frozen pineapple
• ½ an avocado
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp maple syrup 
• 50ml apple juice 

Simply blitz all the ingredients together in a blender, if the mixture isn’t blending, add some more apple juice. Add to your Citron travel mug to keep your breakfast or afternoon snack cold for 12 hours, and enjoy on the go.

Mint iced-tea

Not every child loves to drink water, but staying hydrated is crucial, especially in the heat. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and dizziness. Iced-tea is a lovely refreshing drink loved by kids and adults, perfect for the sunny weather.
