Great read! I’m definitely running out to get those glasses/straws, although my smoothies always seem a little thick, I wonder if they would work with the straws?
I have a 3 yr old and a 6 yr old, they love to have a smoothie every day when they come home from school/preschool.
My trick that got them to drink my green smoothies is that I called them ‘Shrek smoothies’!
I figured strawberries, red, with spinach, green, makes brown, right?
So in my recipe I only use yellow/orange fruits with the greens, like banana, pineapple, mango and peach with spinach. It makes the green really neon bright green, exactly like Shrek’s coloring. My 6 yr old even declares it tastes just like Shrek. Lol My 3 yr old usually drinks 2 glasses and walks around with her tummy all full and round.
Now we play a game, where they guess what color the smoothie will be today, peach, orange, purple, green etc.
I’m so glad they love them. so healthy…

I am a Senior in search of a budget wise simplified way of eating.

Green and fruit smoothies are vital to good health.

Would love more direction to where to access more recipes for limited income Seniors Vegan preferred!

I’m just a “grown up kid” and why I visited this website for the first time. Assumed it would be easy recipes to implement for optimum health!

Thanks!
Carla

Hi Melissa!! So glad you stumbled on me too!! Too funny about having to be careful since they are worried about you putting something “weird” in it! Definitely try the kefir. It adds so many good nutritional benefits! And I have not yet tried the broccoli in a smoothie yet. You will have to let me know how that goes and if you can pull it off!
