Veggies in WHAT???

Green Smoothies! A staple in a healthy family diet. Start your morning with blended fruits and veggies and it is a sure way to know that you are sending your kids to school with many vitamins and minerals racing through their system.

Here are the ingredients that I keep on hand for our mornings:

SPINACH- a key ingredient
Kale
Any other fresh greens that you enjoy
Mango
Banana
frozen mixed berries (sans sugar and added ingredients) You can buy a great bag at Costco.
Cucumbers
carrots or carrot juice
a spalsh of orange juice
whole apples
cinnamon

These are also great afternoon snacks. Put them in a fun glass with a twisty straw and your kids will love it! Mix it up everyday so they don't get bored.
