A Unique Child: Nutrition: Get cooking, summer

Emma Comer and Meg Smith of Tall Trees Kindergarten offer a luscious taste for summer.

Our Summer Berry Smoothie with Wholemeal Vanilla thins is packed with healthy berries, super foods which provide the children with vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants.

We buy frozen berries from our local farm shop. It also sells other frozen fruit mixes (such as tropical), which would also work well with this recipe.

Why not try growing your own berries? Blackberries, raspberries and blueberries are all easy to grow, although outdoor space and bird netting is required. By planting both summer and autumn varieties, the nursery will have crops for a few months a year.

Children love picking fruit, and their interest in healthy berries can be fostered by picking home-grown berries or even making a trip to a local fruit farm.
