Smoothies

I have always fed my kids really healthy food.  I made all their baby food. I'm a puree'ing professional!  I'm a firm believer in "you are what you eat".... organic as much as possible, fruits, vegetables, no packaged garbage, very little sugar, etc.  It's been hard at times when they got picky, but the one saving grace has always been SMOOTHIES.  The deception is genius!  You can seriously hide anything in them.  I've been known to put spinach, kale, pumpkin, butternut squash, etc, in my smoothies.  They have no idea.  Heh heh heh... (that is my evil laugh) ;-)  My kids have a smoothie every single day.  They come running and yelling "Yey!" when I serve them.  Seriously.  :)  Today's mixture: kiwi, cantaloupe, banana, watermelon, frozen strawberries, avocado, almonds, ground flax seed, yogurt, probiotics, and orange juice.  YUM!  It feels SO good to know that my children are eating such good, healthy food everyday.  The leftovers get made into ice pops, and Mommy gets the rest! :)  Win win!  Here's my cutie-pie drinking his smoothie while enjoying a little Sesame Street this morning.  (Check out his hair!!!)
