Contributor appreciation 🎉Tasha Compos 🎉 is a fully credentialed teacher with a Masters degree in education and over 14 years of classroom teaching experience and the owner of ARTLab Maui in Kihei offering art classes from 1 year old to adult.

My kids have attended classes at since she opened and there has not been one that they haven't absolutely loved.

She has been contributing fun art projects to do at home with your keiki including her play dough recipe in our Summer Issue. If you haven't checked out their summer camp offerings, check them out before they fill up!

Who doesn’t love a sneaky way to give kids more servings of their fruits and veggies? Here's a recipe to try from local chef extraordinaire Maja Liotta:

Peppermint Matcha Smoothie

1 cup ice
2 frozen bananas
1 tsp good quality matcha
2 cups oat/nut/ or regular milk
Tiny splash of peppermint extract
Couple sprigs of fresh mint
1/4 tsp good salt

Blend and enjoy! It’s like a shamrock shake gone good.

For tips on how to make your smoothies extra nutritious, check out Maja's story in the Summer Issue of Maui Family Magazine.
