if you or the guys don't like veggies here's a tip....
shove it in the blender with a bunch of fruit! LOL
1/3 honey dew melon
2 kiwi fruit
1 apple
a hand full of spinach
1 big table spoon of raw honey
after putting a few hand fulls of ice and all the fruit in the blender,
fill 1/2 the blender jar with vanilla soy milk
half with orange juice / any juice you prefer (i put orange mango in)
blend to a preferred smoothness....
serves 4 tall glasses
wallah! the guys couldn't even taste the spinach LOL! they drank it half down and i told them what was in it- they took another sip trying to taste it, then another.... they looked puzzled at me, "There's spinach in here??"
LMAO!!
i'm pretty sure there are other veggies i can disguise, too... and when i figure out more recipes, i'll be sure to post em here. in the mean time, if any of you know any, please post em! HAPPY HEALTHY EATINGS! LOL! it's the least we can do for this aching body, right?

We actually buy the V8 fruit juice that has the full serving of veggies and fruits in it. THe kids can't get enough of it! And although I'm "expanding" my veggie experiences for myself......I'm still not a big spinach fan. I do like it with pasta though!
Thanks for the tip! We're gonna hafta try this one!
trust me, Wonder, this thing was soooo good! lol
pear is also good to mask leafy flavors too! so is carrots & if you make it slushy they will always drink it!
just put it in a solid glass w/ lid & straw! so they can't see color!
Since my kids were little I've been putting a whole can of pumpkin in my spaghetti/marinara sauce and they never knew. Sometimes I pureed a whole can of peas for the same thing and it went unnoticed. When I have too much zuchinni from the garden, I puree it and freeze to use later in a sauce or cream soup.
I can eat many of the veggies and have recenlty expanded my horizons and tried rhubarb. I do not like it. LOL
I do not eat tomatoes, but enjoy spaghetti sauce, ketchup, salsa, so go figure.
I think with me it is a texture thing.
I'll keep looking for your recipes!
I started out with a 4 ounce glass...as drinking pure veggies and fruits will at first Give ya the Shits, our bodies are used to Muted Vitamins...then increases it to 6 ounces, then to 8...thats where i still am...
Super easy !!
hmm.... putting carrots in it huh? i'll try that next....
and thanks for the "put it in the sauce" tip!
