Healthy Summer Smoothies (for everyone!)

I often get asked what are my fav smoothies or if it is safe to give protein shakes to kids.  I say, YES, of course in moderation.  Here are some of my "concoctions" that my boys give thumbs up on!  Ingredients are just combined in blender, pour and ENJOY!  (don't give me a hard time on their names, though.....not really creative).
