Toddlers need immune support year-round, but most shop-bought drinks are loaded with added sugar. These five immune-boosting smoothies for toddlers use fresh fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats to deliver vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in every sip. They’re naturally sweet, gentle on digestion, and easy to make at home. Each recipe is toddler-approved, allergy-conscious, and designed to help parents serve healthy drinks without the battles at the table.

1. Banana & Spinach Smoothie

A green powerhouse for fussy eaters

The banana masks the spinach flavour, making it perfect for little ones who normally avoid greens. Packed with vitamin C, iron, and probiotics, this smoothie helps support both immune health and digestion.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana (the riper, the sweeter)

• Small handful of baby spinach (fresh, not frozen)

• ½ cup full-fat Greek yoghurt

• ½ cup water or oat milk

• 1 tsp ground flaxseed (optional, for omega-3s)

Method:

1. Add all ingredients to a compact blender (Houszy’s jug blender collection is ideal for smooth results).

2. Blend until silky with no leafy bits.

3. Serve in a BPA-free toddler cup or through a soft silicone straw.

Why it works:
Spinach is rich in vitamin C and iron, while Greek yoghurt adds probiotics and protein for gut and immune support.

2. Orange & Carrot Smoothie

The citrus zinger

This bright blend is packed with vitamin C and beta-carotene for immune health, with natural sweetness from mango.

Ingredients:

• Juice of 1 large orange

• 1 medium carrot (peeled and steamed)

• ¼ ripe mango (or frozen mango chunks)

• ¼ cup plain yoghurt

• Splash of cold water

Method:

1. Steam the carrot in a non-stick saucepan with a lid from Houszy’s range until tender.

2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.

3. Blend until smooth and chill before serving.

Why it works:
Orange and mango boost vitamin C levels, while carrots provide beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A for stronger immunity.

3. Blueberry & Oat Smoothie

Breakfast in a glass

Perfect for busy mornings, this smoothie is high in fibre and antioxidants, keeping toddlers full and energised.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

• 2 tbsp rolled oats (pre-soaked for 5 minutes)

• ½ banana

• ½ cup milk (dairy or fortified non-dairy)

• Pinch of cinnamon

Method:

1. Soak oats in a measuring jug or prep bowl for 5 minutes.

2. Blend all ingredients until smooth.

3. Serve in a spill-proof toddler cup and store leftovers in a glass bottle in the fridge.

Why it works:
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, while oats provide sustained energy and gut-friendly fibre.

4. Apple, Pear & Ginger Smoothie

Natural defence blend

This gently spiced mix soothes the gut and supports immune resilience—especially during cold season.

Ingredients:

• ½ ripe pear (peeled and cored)

• ½ apple (steamed or grated)

• ¼ tsp fresh ginger (grated very finely)

• ½ cup water or coconut water

• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  
  

Method:

1. Grate ginger using a fine grater or microplane from Houszy’s utensil collection.

2. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth.

3. Serve immediately or in an insulated cup for nursery snacks.

Why it works:
Ginger is anti-inflammatory, while apples and pears provide prebiotic fibre to feed healthy gut bacteria.

5. Avocado, Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie

The creamy immunity booster

A tropical mix full of healthy fats, vitamin C, and electrolytes for hydration and immune support.

Ingredients:

• ¼ ripe avocado

• ½ cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

• ½ banana

• ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk

• Few drops of fresh lime juice

Method:

1. Prep fruit on a stainless steel chopping board with a safe knife from Houszy’s kitchenware range.

2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy.

3. Garnish with coconut flakes (for older toddlers) and serve chilled.

Why it works:
Avocado provides essential fats for brain and immune development, while pineapple contains bromelain to help reduce inflammation.
