Green smoothies

One of the only ways I can get Gracey to eat her veggies is by making a green smoothie. She does get bored of the same flavors so I do have to mix it up a bit. But it's so worth it if she drinks it. Because then at least I know she is getting some nutrition in her!

Lisa said...: Kim~you just use spinach and then anything you want to put in it. I used spinach, green apple, strawberry, banana, and peanut butter in one of them...I know you would not like that one. But I added spinach, strawberry, banana, kiwi, and cinnamon, a little bit of sugar and milk to the other one I made....and that one was yummy!Best one I have made yet.

Some people will use spinach, carrots, strawberries, flax seeds, almond milk, etc. I hear you can't taste the carrots in it too. I am going to experiment with a smoothie with carrots to see how it tastes.

Really you can put anything in it, but the main ingredient is spinach. But the best part is you can't taste the spinach, just the texture of it really, and you can't really taste any of the other ingredients that don't have a strong flavor to them.
I was going to try to put avocado in one of them with spinach strawberries and bananas and cinnamon to see if you could taste that flavor, but my avocados are not ripe yet. I am just trying any kind of healthy fruit and veggie that I can put in this so that the girls will drink it without knowing they are eating their veggies! :); July 30, 2012 at 10:06 PM

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
