I have heard from different sources that for digestive purposes, you should never eat or drink your veggies at the same time. Is this true? And what about in the case for children? For my children should I focus on juicing or blending? Additionally, I would just feel like "supermom" if I could find a few good recipes for smoothies or juicing to give to my kids that are veggie based! I have searched the internet for recipes with not much luck. I would love to get a variety of veggie colors down them this way and maybe combine them with fruit. Suggestions? Thank you. Allison
My 2 yr old daughter just hates veggies!! All she wants to eat is starch, starch, starch. As a person who values a healthy lifestyle it drives me completely crazy. Well the other day I got my daughter to start drinking juiced veggies. I discovered that I can get her to drink just about anything, (spinach, broccoli etc) as long as I incorporate enough cucumber into the mix. She loves it & asks for more! We call it the Green Drink. I've heard juicing can by tough on their bellies so I do water it down a bit. The other suggestion I have is when I make fruit smoothies, I blend a little spinach into the mix (usually fruits, an organic probiotic yogurt, water & spinach...oh yeah & vit. D too!). She drinks it all up! I hope this helps!
