Green Smoothies

These are my new favorite breakfast. You are probably asking yourself "WHY would you want to drink a green smoothie, it looks disgusting!?!?"

Well, if your kids are anything like mine, they don't eat nearly enough greens. Maybe some lettuce smothered in HV ranch dressing once in a while (probably more dressing than salad).

And, green smoothies taste great. I'm serious! Take whatever smoothie concoction your kids already like.. say frozen banana's and milk. Add a handful of raw spinach, or an entire avocado. Gradually increase the amount of greens as your kids adjust to the new taste!

Green smoothie recipes:

frozen ripe banana's

one avocado

rice or almond milk

blend until smooth

oranges, peeled and seeded

handful of spinach

100% orange juice

ice

blend until smooth

pineapple

handful of raw kale

orange juice

ice

blend until smooth

berries

frozen ripe banana's

romaine lettuce or spinach

blend until smooth

You may or may not need to sweeten your smoothies. Try honey, agave nectar, or stevia. Please don't ruin your healthy smoothie by adding white sugar!

These are sooo good for you! Imagine giving your kids several servings of fruit and veggie's before they ever leave the house!
