Now, years later I am putting new meaning to the phrase. My daughter, who is a very picky eater, will eat, well drink, smoothies. I typically think of these as summer time treats but I if she will drink them...why not make them anytime! With no school today it seems like the perfect day to experiment.
I found some great recipes that will sure to be a hit!
Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie
INGREDIENTS
3 peeled kiwi
1 cup frozen banana slices
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smoothie consistency is met.
Carrot Smoothie
12 ounces of fresh carrot juice
2 cups of vanilla yogurt
1/2 of a peeled lime
3 baby carrots
8 ice cubes
Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smoothie consistency is met.

8 oz. chocolate milk
4 oz. strawberries
4 oz. bananas
A couple of ice cubes
Garnish with mint

The Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie sure to be a winner but I am not sure how the Carrot Smoothie will go over but carrots are her favorite vegetable! It is worth a try I say! And I have no doubt the Chocolate Smoothie will be a hit...who wouldn't like that one!
Have a great Thursday!
