Most of the drinks in The Children's Food & Drink Party Book: Food and Easy Recipes For That Special Children's Party, by Anthony Carroll, are smoothie-style drinks and by the1990s could be found everywhere. Although the book is focused on children, it may also be for the young at heart.



In Summary

The following are chapter highlights:

Fruit combos
Banana Zing Smoothie
Milk, banana, juice of an orange, lemon juice, plain yogurt, apple juice concentrate, orange slices and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses.

Novelty drinks
Banana Smoothie
Milk, banana, crushed Oreos, plain yogurt, ice cubes and Oreos to garnish. Blend all ingredients. Pour into chilled glasses.

For the curious
Black Forest Gateau Smoothie
Milk, cream, plain yogurt, black cherry jam, chocolate syrup, cherries, banana or custard apple, vanilla, ice cubes and chocolate curls. Blend everything except chocolate curls. Pour into chilled glasses and top with chocolate curls.

Party Snacks
Fruit and Jelly Wedges
Canned fruit, gelatin, food coloring and oranges. Follow the lengthy directions.

In Opinion

When I think of kids and fruit, I think the one fruit that they would all agree on are bananas. So, I chose to highlight three recipes with bananas as an ingredient. For a child who likes something kind-of different, I chose to highlight the fruit and jelly wedges.

Again, these recipes are perfect for a child of any age, including adults wanting something healthy.

I give this book a 5-star rating.
