Smoothies!

My sons are as opposite as night and day and it is clear to see within moments that Rocklyn has taken after his mama in most every way! He can't sit still and his energy has him bouncing off the walls, he is loud and talks on and on and he is as stubborn as can be! This has really been affecting his eating lately: if it's green, has a unique texture, is unfamiliar or just about anything healthy except fruit it is a big NO WAY!


That being said... he has become the smoothie kid!




Since he loves all things fruity, thinks he is too cool when he gets to use a straw and pretty much thinks he is getting a dessert when he gets a smoothie, I have been serving them religiously! The trick is what I have been hiding in that blender to be masked by his favorite pineapples, peaches and strawberries!


Flax, tofu, veggies galore, nuts, lentils and anything else you can name have been enhancing this little man's diet without him having a clue. He gets what he thinks is a dessert and I get peace of mind! Easy enough!


Yesterday's smoothie included: yogurt, peaches, pineapple, watermelon, canteloupe, almonds, bananas, kidney beans, carrots and celery!


What do you put in your smoothie????

National Nutrition Month
















March is officially National Nutrition Month so eat a rainbow! And no not skittles. Produce! Imagine how wonderful we would feel if we just accustomed ourselves to living as they did at the beginning of time on fruits and veggies only? Don't get me wrong, I am nowhere near this point yet but am well on my way! Here is some inspiration to get you craving the good stuff.

BE GOOD TO YOUR BODY AND IT WILL RETURN THE FAVOR!
