Well, we have been creating green monsters for a few days now {successfully} thanks to the help & guidance from my friend Becky {can't thank you enough}! Benjamin and I paid her a visit last week & she had us try one of her smoothies. I was hooked after witnessing Ben drink every last drop out of my cup! We ordered a blender (beleive it or not, I have never had one) and picked up lots of organic vegetables & some fruit. And we blended. The boys watched intently as I added the ingredients: about 4 chopped apples, 4-5 cups of fresh spinach, 1 cup of blueberries, and a cup of ice water. They watched as it turned colors & became a nice appetizing hue of greenish/brown. Then we all tasted. William proclaimed, " tastes too salad'y'." We all agreed with his description. So, I took their glasses, dumped them back into the blender and added a banana. Repeat. They drank every last drop! I love that my boys are adventurous & trustworthy enough to allow me to 'fix' something before they completely snub it. We plan to start every morning with a green monster!
