  These Blueberry Smoothies are not only delicious, but they’re also packed with nutrients that are perfect for your growing toddler. The blueberries in the smoothie are a great source of antioxidants, which help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Dates, which are used as a natural sweetener in the smoothie, are also packed with nutrients. They’re high in iron, which helps to transport oxygen throughout the body, and fiber, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Dates are also a good source of vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision, and potassium, which is important for maintaining a healthy heart. Additionally, dates are high in calcium, which is essential for strong bones, and protein, which is important for the growth and repair of tissues. With all of these nutrients, it’s no wonder that your little one is sure to love this tasty treat!
