My daughter is 3 and she eats salad pretty good (with dressing of course!) My 1 year old son doesn't really like the texture of it in his mouth, (and he doesn't have all his teeth) so I especially have to get creative with him.
One thing I made that he loves! is:
- blend 1 banana
- Some raw pineapple to taste
- A pretty good handful of spinach
My daughter will eat it most of the time but I changed it a bit so she likes it even more by adding frozen blueberries while blending it, enough to make ice cream! She loves it, but then it was too cold for my 1 year old. Go Figure. You don't even taste the spinach!
As for me.... I'm trying to work up to a fresh, raw, mostly greens and veggies juice fast. So far they're replacing 2 meals a day. With the holidays and a packed month of birthdays in February, I was not wanting to feel left out!
In the morning lately I have been juicing an off the wall mix that I like....kind of reminds me of lemon limeade and if you like things a bit sweeter add the half orange!
This Recipe is for a JUICER... or A blender with a little water strained through layers of cheese cloth, a nut mylk bag, sprout bag etc..
- 1 whole organic cucumber or peeled non organic one
- about a cup of raw broccoli
- 1 granny smith apple
- 1 lime
- half lemon
- half orange if you want it sweeter, I like it kind of tart without
- any greens you want, I've been using handful of spinach, few leaves of romaine, quarter bunch of parsley- - - or whatever I have on hand
- a bit of cabbage if I feel like it
This recipe is a SMOOTHIE....
- Greens of choice a couple handfuls
- an orange
- cucumber organic or peeled
- avocado
- frozen berries of choice... enough to make the drink frosty if you like
- if you taste it and need sweeter... a banana or part of one
- a little water to get it moving
Have a blissfully green day!
