Eat (or Drink) Your Veggies

I always make an effort to get the girls to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.  But like typical kids, they don't always comply.  Tonight, along with our dinner I decided to get creative.  I turned the usual side of carrot sticks and apples into a smoothie.  And guess what, they both drank it right up. 

Here's the simple recipe in case you would like to give it a try:

INGREDIENTS:

2 ripe bananas, peeled
2 carrots, peeled and trimmed
2 apples, cored
1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
8 cubes ice




DIRECTIONS:
1
Blend the bananas, carrots, apples, yogurt, orange juice, and ice cubes in a blender until smooth.

  1. I love that idea! And it could even pass as a "milkshake" for dessert (minus the milk)! And LK is such a pretty girl. : )
