Smoothies

Smoothies are yummy and it is a great way to eat foods we normally don't eat plus it's a good way to sneak things in that the kids don't like or add extra things in like hemp seeds or powdered supplements.

The kids always help make their smoothies. They fight over who's going to put what in the blender and then when I turn it on, they say it's too noisy and cover their ears. I noticed when I allow the kids to help cook, they are more willing to eat what they made. Plus it's a good way for them to learn how to cook and help out in the kitchen.

Here is a recipe for a smoothie that we make often...

It's called Berry Good! 3/4 orange juice, 1 Tbs honey, 1 Tbs hemp seeds, 2 bananas, 2 cups frozen mixture of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Throw everything in the blender and mix on low until everything is blended then increase the speed until the mixture is smooth. Makes 2 servings .
