So how do I get my kids to eat the foods that are
healthy and amazing for them without them turning their noses up and/or only
taking one bite?? How to I make sure my food rejecting son gets SOME protein,
and green veggies??
How do I get them to eat stuff like Avocado's,
Spinach, and sweet pea shoots?
Voila!! Drink up babies!!
Here is a list of ingredients I put in my
smoothies. Not all at the same time of course. I mix and match creating different
flavours. Most ingredients are Organic and/or local products....
I usually eat these in the morning, and
post workout.
Frozen Berries, or fresh picked
Banana
Avocado
Celery
Pears
Apples
Lemon..fresh squeezed
Lime. fresh
Ginger
Yogurt
Vanilla
Spinach, lettuce or other greens. Jam them in
there.
Shoots of any sort...like broccoli, sweat pea
ect..
Kiwi
Peanut Butter/Almond Butter
Chia, Flax Seeds
Raw Unsalted Nuts (macadamia,almonds,Walnuts)
Honey, Agave Nectar
Pure Cocoa
Cinnamon
Coconut milk in a Can (love the chunky stuff)
Pumpkin in a Can (organic is so so good)
Almond, Rice, Coconut, or Raw MILK
Water
splash of juice ( I'm not a juice advocate..so
use a tiny bit or non at all)
That's all I can think of off hand..I'll add more
to the list if I think of some later. Have fun with it. Mix and match and try
different things. The point is to jam as much vitamins, antioxidants, minerals,
fiber, protein and good calories as you can. Your skin and your bowels
will thank you ;)

I don't know what we would do without smoothies...at least it makes me feel better that they are getting something good....when downright refusal is often the case!!!
Thanks for the suggestions. I absolutely love smoothies but didn't have a clue what to add in them to make them tasty. I will definitely try some of the items you suggested.
