There’s an art to making a great smoothie! ⁠Fo

There’s an art to making a great smoothie! ⁠Follow these simple steps and you will never be searching smoothie recipes again:⁠
⁠
🍒CHOOSE A BASE⁠
Pick a base for your smoothie depending on whether you like it to be creamy, silky, or fruity. Be mindful of extra sweeteners and aim for a base that is lower in sugar.⁠
⁠
Suggestions: Nut milk, hemp milk, oat milk, water, cow milk, goat milk, coconut water, iced coffee or tea or water.⁠
⁠
🍒ADD SOME COLOUR⁠
Although strawberries and bananas are popular, the key to a healthy start to the day is choosing to add fruits and veggies that are deep in colour. Think green, red & purple...the darker the better!⁠
⁠
Suggestions: Dark cherries, blackberries, pomegranate, blueberries, goji berries, baby kale, baby spinach, Saskatoon berries, or Haskap berries.⁠
⁠
🍒DROP IN SOME GOOD FATS⁠
Healthy fats will help your smoothie to keep you satisfied longer and provide brain-boosting, heart-protecting omega-3 fatty acids. 1-2 tbsp total is plenty.⁠
⁠
Suggestions: Coconut meat, avocado, nut butters, or Greek yogurt.⁠
⁠
🍒THROW IN SOME SPRINKLES⁠
Boost nutrition & flavour with key add-ins. This is where your smoothie can really stand out!⁠
⁠
Suggestions: Hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, oats, cinnamon, cocoa powder, ginger, mint, or spirulina.⁠

Saplings Outdoor Program Summer camp offers nature-based exploration in the wonderful forests throughout the North Shore and Metro Vancouver area for kids 3-5 & 5-11. ⁠

This is the perfect summer camp for your adventurous, creative, nature-loving child! Saplings believes that nature is a child's best education. And that fostering a child's sense of wonder for the great outdoors by facilitating inspirational, stimulating, and hands-on experiences promotes lifelong learning and interest in the outdoors. Kids may build fairy houses or forts, make nature art, hunt for birds and worms, find a secret spot to build a garden, or even create sculptures with clay sticks and materials found in the forest. Whatever the day brings it will be full of fun, excitement, creativity, and exploration. ⁠New this year @saplingsoutdoor is adding STEM to some of their camp offerings.⁠
⁠
Saplings also provide children with plenty of free time to socialize, explore their own interests and just enjoy the wonders around them. ⁠

Imagine the thrill of training to become a fully-fledged knight this summer! ⁠
⁠
Knight Camp with @academie_duello_youth_programs is a premier youth program for kids aged 8-14 in downtown Vancouver. Students will become versed in the Historical Martial Arts of Europe (HEMA) learning and practicing longsword, sword & shield, polearms, archery, and the Knightly Virtues, such as Integrity, Mercy, and Courage! At Knight Camp kids follow the same progression that squires followed, beginning the program as pages, eventually moving up through seven ranks as they complete knightly trials to attain knighthood. It is an amazing journey full of personal growth opportunities while giving them a love of history, swordplay, archery, and adventure. ⁠
