Getting my kids (especially my youngest) to eat fruits and veggies is like pulling teeth, and then trying to replace them...
But he loves green! So the smoothie pop was born. It is just smoothies poured into popsicle molds and frozen.
The green is spinach. Spinach is the most amazing good for you food; at least that's what they taught me in nutrition class 2,000 years ago. So I take frozen spinach and blend it in a blender with everything and yes, it turns everything green. Sometimes it tastes like grass, too, (but my youngest eats it anyway because it is green) but yesterday it did not taste like grass. Here's how:
1/2 bag of frozen spinach (12 oz.) (blend in blender with some water or milk until fine)
1 tub plain yogurt (32 oz.)
1/2 cup sugar
enough milk or water to blend easily.
Freeze in popsicle mold.
Voila!! Nutrition for my little man!
