While visiting family recently, on drinking my morning smoothie, the children were keen to try it, too. I discovered I got less for myself when I did one of two things: either had extra fruit, or included peanut butter! Now is that a surprise?
Nutrition & Food Sciences and culinary school graduate Amber Brady is fully aware of that, too. In fact, her children beg her to make smoothies for them! Amber writes at Dessert Now, Dinner Later (I second that sentiment exactly, lol!) where she advises …
Green smoothies do better with yellow or orange fruits (bananas, pineapple, mangoes, peaches, etc.) You are welcome to do berries, but they may change the color to an unappetizing brown [mud!] It will still taste good though.
Having to get three young children ready in the morning just to get the eldest to school, Amber found she was too rushed to make breakfast. That’s when she decided to make freezer packs for quicker mornings.
