Chocolate Protein Bars for KIDZ
My kids LOVE shakes & smoothies so I was stoked when I stumbled across KidzShake.
Doctor Rach's KidzShake offers more than just a good source of protein for our tykes, it also delivers vitamins and minerals!

Of course I was a little nervous about whether or not my kids were actually going to like it. As great as the nutritional value is, it is extremely hard to force an unpleasant smoothie down your child (mmm-k!). I decided to play it safe and first make them each a smoothie. I gave Bryce (my vanilla lover) a vanilla cream shake with a banana, strawberries, ice, and almond milk. For Brayden (my chocoholic) I blended the chocolate cream powder with a banana, ice, and coconut milk. You guys, they LOVED them!!! I was relieved because with all my nutrition-loving heart I wanted them to enjoy this safe nutrition powder.
I then decided to experiment some more so I looked at the recipes on the KidzShake's Pinterest Page. I pinned a few and today I am sharing one with you that I found by SuperHealthyKids.com.
