"I Hate Vegetables!"
Wait! What About Green Smoothies?

Green smoothies are the perfect solution if you, your child, husband or friend hates green leafy vegetables and salads. Yes, you can be sneaky, clever and play with your food by creating the best tasting smoothie and adding a few leafy green vegetables. This may not sound like the most honest approach to getting you or your loved ones to enjoy their veggies but ithis is for the greater cause of health! lol

Green Smoothie Experiment

Let's say one day you decide to do a bit of an experiment a "blind" or blueberry taste testing to inspire a fresh approach with
yourself or another...

.

You will need a blender or a high powered blender like a Vita Mix. They are the best read my Vitamix review!
1 fresh ripe banana, depending on how hungry you and they are.
1 cup of frozen blueberries or mixed berries per person
1 1/2 apple cut in half and corded per person
1/4 cup of fresh (preferably organic) spinach
1/4 cup of Water and Ice

You want to start with a 1-2 fresh, ripe spotted bananas. Peel and place them in the blender.
Add 1 cup of frozen blueberries to the blender with the bananas.
To begin with you want to add 1/4 cup of spinach per person, too much and it won't be sweet enough and the most important part of your experiment is that they love the flavor. In time you can increase the amount of greens to 40%. That's 60% fruit and 40% green leafy vegetables.
Now to blend your green smoothies at 1/4 cup of water and a handful of ice if you like. Blend. You want it to be creamy and to taste so delicious they will want MORE!
Pour it into a beautiful glass and serve. Feel free to add a straw, especially for kids as most of them love straws.

If you are sharing this with another and they ask you "What is it?" respond with enthusiasm, "It's a delicious blueberry smoothie I made just for you!" If they ask what is in it you can list the fruits and innocently;) omit the spinach, for experiment sake of course.
Make sure you have a smoothie as well and enjoy yours. People tell me all the time that Mitchel(11) and Carter(9) enjoy salads with such enjoyment that it makes the salads look so delicious, they can't help themselves but to want one too. Now walk away for a moment as to not lead on any suspicion. Come back in a minute and ask them how they enjoyed their smoothie. If they loved it you can share your secret.... Green smoothies are only one way to get creative and play with your food inspiring others to eat and love their vegetables!
