I don't know about you but it is a battle getting my toddler to eat her veggies. Anything green in her dinner dish winds up getting extracted and placed in a mound on the side of the plate. :( Sigh! So I decided I'm going to try a different approach - Smoothies. Vegetables in a smoothie? Yes. I can add any fruits and vegetables I want, and maybe even a little yogurt to add sweetness. That way it won't scare away my little one, and it will be a yummy, healthy option to get those nutrients in my daughter's diet. Here's a great recipe I'm planning on trying. Now the only thing I'm worried about is if it turns out green! ... We might need to try some food coloring:)... Enjoy!
"Eat your Fruits & Veggie's" Smoothie
- 2 big handfuls fresh spinach leaves (about 4 cups)
- 2 bananas, peeled
- 4 medium carrots, rinsed and trimmed
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 12oz bag frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons flax oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups unsweetened original almond milk
- 1.5 cups water
Combine all ingredients into the blender, and give it a whirl!
