Fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, mango chunks, watermelon, cantaloupe, unpeeled seedless tangerines (halved), avocado chunks

Chia seeds, cracked flax seeds, pitted dates, raisins
OTHER

- Have kids prep their own smoothies the night before by filling jars ¾ of the way with smoothie ingredients of their choice. Store jars, covered overnight in the refrigerator.
- Transfer ingredients to blender, add ice and whirr. Pour back into mason jar and add straw.
