🌿🍍Tropical Kale Smoothie🍍🌿

This green smoothie is packed with nutrition from the 2 heaping cups of kale inside but the frozen tropical fruit masks that dark leafy green flavor and makes for one delicious drink! This smoothie is definitely kid-approved and a great way to start the day or get your greens in during snack time.

🌟Learn to Love Veggies Tip🌟
Exposing children to kale in a smoothie form is a great first recipe for kiddos that may be too scared to try it in a salad, as "chips", or a baked good yet. Have your child help make this smoothie with you so they can watch the dark leafy greens transform into a pretty light green smoothie!

Here's the recipe and be sure to lettuce know if you make it!💚

Harriet and I had a fabulous time with Kelli Hanson and TJ Therrien yesterday on Twin Cities Live!

The hosts sure made her feel special and I'm so proud of her bravery on the show. This is a gal that's been in speech therapy for the past few years going on live t.v. and answering the hosts questions like a rock star! I just love seeing her confidence grow💚

We made some Cauli-Power Pasta and a Kid-Friendly Chopped Salad with Strawberry Dressing, I'll post the link to the segment later this week!

Learn to Love Veggies Tip🥕
Ask your child how many orange veggies and fruits can they think of? Take turns! They say an orange veggie/fruit, then you say an orange veggie/fruit, and so on. Making veggies "fun" and part of a game will make them less "scary" at meal time.
