Summer Drinks for Kids

Have you ever had one of those creamsicles from the ice cream trucks in the summer? This smoothie tastes just like that. It's sweet and citrusy and creamy and altogether refreshing, like summer in a glass.

We may be living in a text-happy, Facebook-loving world, but kids still like to set up lemonade stands. And when they do, they might as well sell the good stuff. This recipe is made with only real lemons, sugar, and water. 

This is an old-fashioned milkshake, made with fresh strawberries, sugar, milk, and vanilla ice cream.

Nothing says summer quite like sitting on the porch eating watermelon. This smoothie is light and refreshing, and because you'll freeze the watermelon before making this smoothie, it has a thick and milkshake-like texture. 

Elvis isn't the only one who likes the combination of peanut butter, bananas, and honey. This smoothie recipe is thick and rich, like a milkshake. Kids will love it!

Fresh strawberries make this recipe incredibly sweet. This frozen lemonade is perfect for those sweltering summer days.

Why go out to an expensive ice cream shop for milkshakes when it is so easy to make them at home. This recipe is also great for a special dessert or even for an after-school snack.

 Lemon and blueberry are such a natural pairing, it's easy to see why this smoothie is such a hit with everyone who tries it. And the best part is this drink is super healthy, but the kids don't have to know that. All they will notice is how great it tastes.

Made with fresh or frozen mango juice, along with a generous scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream, this recipe is indulgent, refreshing, and delicious. Even adults will enjoy it!

A non-alcoholic sangria is a perfect addition to a summer party. Fruit soaking in a flavorful beverage is something that kids love and looks so festive and pretty.
