Guys, i have a confession to make .. about archery

[Jeannaisais]

Yeah...I'm so bad with veggies that my host mom in Spain blended them in to all of the soups she made just to prove that I do like the flavor of them, just not the texture lol

[Hayl3y]

that one, i must keep it in mind *evil laugh*

But, luckily, my girls eat almost anything for the moment ... and that includes barbie shoes, pieces of paper, ...

[Jeannaisais]

haha yeah, she didn't tell me until two days before I left too - she made me help her make lunch one day and I was like "I won't eat half of this" and then....I did because it all got pureed. I need to get on to that whole smoothies thing as i think that'll be the best way for me to get all of my veggies in!

[Hayl3y]

LOL

 

although i don't think that a smoothie with cabbage and sprouts must be that easy to drink

[Jeannaisais]

Mm no but you add in a little bit of fruit to enhance the flavor, and usually the flavor of that fruit takes over and you don't really taste the veggies....or at least that's what I've been told!

Now if you use spinach and fruit, you don't taste the spinach at all. Starting to try the smoothies myself and for my picky 19 month old.

What recipes have you used so far brid? I got stuff to make one tomorrow, but forgot the avocado for the recipe but I might just skip the avocado

[BridMorgan]

The one I did so far, that was yummy to me was:

 

Spinach, FF Vanilla greek yogurt (the kind with sugar, not artificial sweetener), mango, strawberries (both frozen) a banana and milk.  I used 1%.  I thought it was good and didn't need any sweetener.  The wee one drank some, then got a big sip and went "blech"  Both DJ and I couldn't stop laughing! 

[Jeannaisais]

Lol cute! My problem is that most smoothie recipes require dairy products and I am crazy allergic to dairy. So I could use almond yogurt and almond milk but that increases the sugar content too much, but straight veggies and fruit doesn't always work from what I've heard, but I might give it a try. That or convince my hubby to let me get shakeology again

[BridMorgan]

You don't need to use the dairy.  Here, this website has an infographic of how to make a smoothie with some good ideas.
