When my sweet friend Deborah of one of my favorite blogs,
With a cookbook full of 100 delicious, not to mention beautiful, smoothies to choose from, how could I choose THE ONE to share with all of you?! Since this cookbook was made for kids, I let my kids decide. I told them they could choose any smoothie out of the book, but my only condition was that they had to agree on it. Gracie and Eden (Christian was napping - not fair, I know) took the book and went to the couch. They sat there for almost an hour going over each recipe and oohing and awing over the pictures. I suggested the Pineapple, Red Cabbage, & Banana smoothie because the color of the smoothie is the most breathtaking color of purple and could make a nice
An excellent choice, and an easy one! The smoothie had only three ingredients, one of which was ice and no added sugar - which I loved. All of the recipes are like that, actually, which really surprised me, because when I see the ingredients in a lot of smoothies, most of the time there are unnecessary ingredients which unhealthify (is that a word) the whole point of a smoothie. Am I right or am I right?
That's Christian's thumbs up sign, by the way. This Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie served my whole family. It fueled my husband while he was working on building a gate on the side of our house. It gave my daughter Grace the antioxidants she needed to get better from her cold, and Eden and Christian just enjoyed slurping the whole thing down. And me, well, it made me feel better about eating the few S'more Oreos I had consumed the previous day, lol!
If you are looking to add some fruits, veggies, and vitamins into your kids' diets or even your own - this cookbook is the way to go. Go out and buy it now!
