I thought that I came across an amazing way to get vegies into my kids. I wasn't going to tell them what the ingredients were though. While we were at the store I mentioned something about smoothies, Jessica starting jumping up and down and asked if we were going to make green spinach smoothies. So obviously I'm not the only one making these. If you haven't tried them - they are great! If you have tried them - what's your favorite recipe or things to put in them.
Here's the one that two of my kids like - the third one doesn't like smoothies much anyway
1 cup spinach (I use baby spinach)
pineapple (fresh or in it's own juice)
banana
orange juice
enough water to keep it blending smooth
I put the spinach in and add a little water until it's blending well then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend until it is completely smooth.
You can't taste the spinach at all. If you can just add more fruit. I love the fact that there isn't any sugar in it and it's still sweet enough to enough. PLUS - there is a bunch of spinach in it. We have added frozen berries and the kids like that too - it also gets rid of the green color.
