How many of you out there struggle to get your kids to eat fruits and vegetables?

It’s more common to struggle with vegetables than fruit it seems but we do have some friends whose children do not eat fruit or veggies without a lot of pain. So I tried a little trick and it worked and now my kids are hooked.

So here is a simple recipe for a shake your kids will love. It uses spinach as a sweetener and is a fun play on the green color. I got my kids to drink it by telling them that Sam I am from Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham, drinks a green shake too.

WWDD’s Green Shake:

You’ll need to vary the ingredients per serving so just use common sense. After you’ve made it a few times you’ll know what flavors you want more of so you can vary the quantity to suit your taste buds.

1 Apple  (any kind- we usually use Fuji, Pink Lady or Braerburn apples)

1 Banana

A handful of fresh baby spinach

A handful of Raw Almonds

1) Cut up the apple and banana as show above

2) Place ingredients into a blender

3) Pour just enough water into the blender to cover the ingredients

4) Press Liquefy until ingredients are blended nicely and smooth

Pour into glasses and give to your kids!

I’m not sure how or why but a combination of spinach and banana flavors are sweet and yummy. I love it too!

You can mix up the ingredients as well. We’ve used cucumbers, peas as well as pears, mangoes and pineapple . If you use blueberries or strawberries it turns gray so remember that!

But just be sure to use water and not juice because of the sugar content.

You’re getting all the pulp and all the goodness from the fruit and veggies and it’s 100% natural.

Make sure the almonds are raw and not roasted as you’ll be getting high fat contents with roasted almonds. Raw are pure and good for you.

Enjoy!
