green smoothies

this is my granddaughter alexandria, who is almost two, with a green smoothie mustache ...

allie stayed with me last night and i made green smoothies for us ... i used the juice of 1 orange and 1 grapefruit, about a pound of greens from the garden, 1 banana & about 3/4 of a pound of frozen mango ... they were so good ... and allie agreed ...

i think it's a myth that we have to trick small children into eating what's good for them ... i've seen again and again that allie, if given a choice of a variety of foods, will choose the fresh, juicy fruits and veggies every time ...

my daughter and son-in-law aren't vegetarian (yet! ... i'm working on them!) ... but i've even seen allie ignore fast food french fries in favor of watermelon and strawberries ...

so here's to beautiful granddaughters & green smoothies!

I agree - she is a cutie and a little doll! She looks so happy after slurping that good stuff down. :)

I think it's great that's she being exposed to good wholesome foods while young.
