Picky eaters and smoothies.

    I watch a child who is really picky.  We do smoothies all the time.  The mom makes sure I'm always stocked with frozen (sometimes fresh) fruit and lots of veggies.  I just toss 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt, 3/4 cup plain yogurt, about a cup of

    we make smoothies. i don't really follow recipes--i just utilize what we have on hand. as the others said, all you really need is milk, fruit and yogurt to mask any taste of vegetables. i use stuff like avocado or beans a lot that are full of protein.<

    Definitely yes! I actually was looking for ways to incorporate green leafy veggies into the whole family's diet. DH is just like a kid when it comes to veggies. My kids eat fruit fine and I can get them to do broccoli, raw carrots, and sweet potatoes
